William tells TV show of 'calling'

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 28 Maret 2013 | 23.44

THE Duke of Cambridge has spoken of his "calling" to save lives as a helicopter pilot in a TV documentary to be screened next month.

In an interview for the BBC program, Helicopter Rescue, which features footage of William in action as a search and rescue captain, he says: "There's no greater feeling than when you've actually done some good and saved someone's life.

"I don't think there's any greater calling in life ... to be able to see a son or daughter's face when you bring their mother or father back from the edge of death - it's quite powerful."

In one rescue in the four-part series, the duke captains an aircraft called to save a boy who has fallen off an old railway bridge and on to rocks.

He describes his role once the call comes in: "As captain, you're trying to play out the entire rescue, the transit to the rescue and back again in your mind, and pick up any circumstances or problems you can foresee, and try and fix them on the ground before you get airborne."

The program will be the first to show extensive footage of the duke's work as a search and rescue pilot, a BBC spokesman said.

William - known in the Air Force as Flight Lieutenant Wales - has been serving with the C Flight, 22 Squadron at RAF Valley on Anglesey since 2010.

He qualified as an operational search and rescue captain last year and now has a full-time job - albeit with time off for royal duties - rescuing stranded climbers and stricken vessels on emergency missions in Sea King helicopters.

The series will also show crew members around William on Anglesey, and at Royal Marines Base Chivenor in Devon.
