Britain's Prince Harry misses being an Apache helicopter pilot.
The 30-year-old royal quit the Army Air Corps in January in exchange for a desk job organising military events such as the Invictus Games for wounded warriors, but while reminiscing about his time in Afghanistan with veterans of the conflict at a Buckingham Palace reception, he's said to have confessed to missing his former position.
Flight Sergeant Lee Renard - who served three tours of duty in Iraq and eleven in Afghanistan between 2006 and 2014 - revealed: "He said he enjoyed the flying and he missed it."
Reiterating the Prince's feelings, Flight Lieutenant Lance Levin - who is a Chinook helicopter pilot - added to the Daily Express newspaper: "He said he enjoys his flying and would like to return at some point."
It has been reported in the past that Harry, who is a Captain in the Army, could return to flying Apaches once he's finished his current posting, however, royal sources insist it is unlikely.
While the flame-haired royal loved the five months he spent posted in Afghanistan in winter 2012-2013, he's now said to be focused on his current job organising events.
Harry and his brother Prince William were joined by their grandmother, the Queen, their uncle, the Duke of York and Princess Alexandra at the reception for 400 guests to thank those who have supported wounded, injured and sick service personnel.
