The Prince's account has been called into question
Prince Harry's former army instructor says a dramatic account of a 'suicide' training flight in the prince's new book isn't accurate. In his new autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex claims an Army instructor deliberately stalled their Slingsby T67 Firefly propeller plane, without warning.
“I felt the left wing dip, a sickening feeling of disorder, of entropy, and then, after several seconds that felt like decades, he recovered the aircraft and levelled the wings. “Every sortie is thoroughly briefed beforehand, every single aspect. The sortie is flown exactly as per that brief. The only time there are surprises is later in the syllabus, not as stated in the book, when emergencies are introduced.
While Mr Booley maintains the utmost respect and admiration for Harry, he questions parts of Spare, which was ghostwritten by leading author John Joseph Moehringer. Mr Booley adds: “He was an exceptional student, very talented indeed. He is a friend and a man I respect immensely who would always have my ear.”
