Prince William on the first day of his new job as a helicopter pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, Cambridge Airport, Britain - 13 Jul 2015
Prince William started working as a fully-trained air ambulance pilot today (Mon), after completing his year-long training.
The Duke of Cambridge was photographed this morning as he began his first shift for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. The Prince is based at Cambridge International Airport and will be co-piloting a helicopter, flying patients to hospital in emergencies in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. In common with all other East Anglian Air Ambulance pilots, he is formally employed by Bond Air Services and will draw a salary which he will donate to charity. The job is now the Duke's primary occupation, but his roster will also take into account the duties and responsibilities he will continue to undertake on behalf of the Queen. Prince William started his training for his Air Transport Pilot's Licence (Helicopter) last September, which culminated in 14 exams and a flight test.

World's longest aircraft unveiled at Cardington Airfield, Bedfordshire, Britain - 28 Feb 2014

World's longest aircraft unveiled at Cardington Airfield, Bedfordshire, Britain - 28 Feb 2014
The world's longest aircraft has been unveiled by lead singer of rock band Iron Maiden Bruce Dickinson.
The rock star, who is also an airline pilot, helped launch the massive 92 metre long helium-filled Airlander at Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire.
The spectacular flying machine is around 60 foot longer than the biggest airliners, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8.
It is almost 30 foot longer than the massive cargo-carrying Antonov An-225, which until now was the longest aircraft ever built and two-and-a-half times longer than the distance covered by the Wright brothers' first powered flight.
"I want to get in this thing and fly Pole to Pole and we'll fly over the Amazon at 20ft and we'll fly over the world's greatest cities and show the whole world live on the Internet exactly how beautiful this planet is," Bruce told BBC Breakfast.
The Airlander looks like an airship, but isn't because it doesn't float and can actually land via remote control, with no one on board.
The US originally bought the hybrid motor vehicle two years ago, but defence budget cuts meant the developers have now bought it back.
It has been developed by Hybrid Air Vehicles and will eventually be able to carry 50 tonnes, using a third of the fuel of a cargo plane and stay in the air for three weeks at a time.
It is 70 per cent greener than a cargo plane and could potentially be used to deliver humanitarian aid to disaster zones with no runways and offer a new form of slow travel for commercial passengers.
It has been built at Cardington - Britain's biggest hanger - where airships were originally built in the 1920's.
"We have found a way of making a mixture between an airship, which has helium for a lift, with the aero-dynamic lift o...

Prince William Qualifies as Search and Rescue Operational Captain - 01 Jun 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by SAC Faye Storer / Rex Features (1733114a)
With the birth of the royal baby imminent the whole nation is waiting and wondering just when the Duchess of Cambridge is due.
Preparations are already well in hand for the event and it would appear that Prince William has no intentions of missing the birth of his first child.
A hired helicopter can be seen standing in a field near to William and Catherine's home on Anglesey in Wales.
With William currently working as a search-and-recue pilot at RAF Valley he no doubt needs a quick way to wing the 290 miles to London if and when he hears that Kate has gone into labour.
With that in mind the privately hired helicopter will remain on stand-by outside the couple's Welsh farmhouse so that William can get to his wife's side in under two hours should he need to.

At Home With The Windsors
In 1969 thousands sat glued to their television screens as a documentary lifted the lid on the Royal Family for the first time.
Viewers around the world were enthralled by 'Royal Family', which took a behind-the-scenes look at the Windsors.
BBC stills photographer Joan Williams was offered an even more intimate glimpse than most into this hithero unseen world.
As the only photographer attached to the documentary team she produced a candid collection of images that revealed the Royal Family in a whole new light.
When word first got out about the documentary being filmed, newspapers across the country clamoured to get their photographers involved.
However, the decision was made to invite just one - and Joan had her work on children's TV show Blue Peter to thank for being chosen.
She comments: "The year before I'd photographed the royal children when they came into the Blue Peter studio to meet the presenters and animals.
"Afterwards, the photos were sent to the palace by the producer of the program.
"Then the following year when they were making the Royal Family they didn't have a stills photographer with them.
"They'd been filming for four months when the whole of Fleet Street heard and they all wanted to send in their photographers.
"Of course that wasn't possible because the production and palace wanted control.
"The palace remembered my stills of the children and it was suggested that I join them".
Without a second to feel any nerves, Joan received the phone call offering her the job - and started the very next day.
"I was thrown in the deep end, but you take it in your stride because it was just another assignment - though admittedly a fantastic one.
"I didn't find it stressful at all. I just thought I was very privileged".
Over the course of a y...

Bonhams to Auction an Airworthy Two-Seater Vickers-Supermarine MK IX Spitfire, RAF Thruxton Hampshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2009
An airworthy Vickers-Supermarine Mk1X Spitfire is expected to fetch at least GBP 1.5 - 2 million when it goes under the hammer. The plane is being sold by a private seller on April 20 at the RAF Museum in Hendon, north London, by Bonhams. The legendary aircraft is the second of the Second World War planes to be sold in the last year. Last September Bonhams sold a non-airworthy 1945 Supermarine Spitfire for a record price of GBP 1.1 million. And this plane is considered to be even more desirable that that one. This latest Spitfire, built in 1944, was originally a single-seat Mark IX which saw service with the RAF. Following the war the plane was sold to the South African Air Force. In the 1970s it was rediscovered in a Cape Town scrapyard and rescued by the late building developer and aviation enthusiast Charles Church. It has changed hands several times since then and has been subject to a five-year restoration project to make it airworthy again.

Bonhams to Auction an Airworthy Two-Seater Vickers-Supermarine MK IX Spitfire, RAF Thruxton Hampshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2009
An airworthy Vickers-Supermarine Mk1X Spitfire is expected to fetch at least GBP 1.5 - 2 million when it goes under the hammer. The plane is being sold by a private seller on April 20 at the RAF Museum in Hendon, north London, by Bonhams. The legendary aircraft is the second of the Second World War planes to be sold in the last year. Last September Bonhams sold a non-airworthy 1945 Supermarine Spitfire for a record price of GBP 1.1 million. And this plane is considered to be even more desirable that that one. This latest Spitfire, built in 1944, was originally a single-seat Mark IX which saw service with the RAF. Following the war the plane was sold to the South African Air Force. In the 1970s it was rediscovered in a Cape Town scrapyard and rescued by the late building developer and aviation enthusiast Charles Church. It has changed hands several times since then and has been subject to a five-year restoration project to make it airworthy again.

Jumbo Hostel: Join the Meter-High Club
JUMBO HOSTEL: JOIN THE METER-HIGH CLUB
Here's an idea that will never take off - a hostel aboard a JUMBO JET.
The world's first built guesthouse onboard a real Boeing 747-200 has touched down at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
Guests (or is that passengers?) have the chance to sleep in the cockpit of the aircraft - which comes complete with throttle controls.
You can even wake up to the sight of real planes taxiing on the airport's runways through the windows.
The staff also dress as cabin crew - with many of them actually former air hosts and hostesses.
The plane has a reception and lounge area, complete with candlelit tables and a retro company logo, and a choice of 25 rooms.
Prices ranging from GBP 29 for a dorm bed to GBP 275 for the cockpit double, which includes private bathroom and breakfast, meaning this overnighter offers both budget flight and long haul-equivalent prices.
"It's just fantastic and unbelievably exciting to finally be able to show something so unique and special for the rest of the world," says Gisela Olsson, Site Manager at the Jumbo Hostel.
Originally delivered to Singapore Airlines in 1976, the jet also spent time in Cathay and Pan Am fleets.
But now it is grounded indefinitely could be there be any better way to join the TEN METRE-high club
