Prince Harry’s claims about his military trip have been denied by an army instructor, according to a news report. The Duke of Sussex detailed a dramatic account of a “suicide” training flight in his memoir, Spare.
In his autobiography, he claimed that an Army instructor intentionally stalled their Slingsby T67 Firefly propeller plane without warning.
However, ex-Sergeant Major Michael Booley claimed that every detail of the training flights was discussed beforehand.
He told the Sunday Mirror: “I’m amazed by that. Even in shock.”
His clear version of the incident suggests there may be another inaccuracy in Harry’s Megxit memoir.
The prince wrote in his controversial bestseller: “On one of our first flights together, Booley, without warning, threw the plane into a stall.
“I felt the left wing buckle, a sickening sense of disorder, of entropy, and then after a few seconds that felt like decades, he retrieved the plane and straightened the wings.
“I stared at him. What the hell -? Was that an aborted suicide attempt?’
“No,” he said softly. That was the next step in my training.”
