Prince William is back in uniform for a special reason!
The 43-year-old Prince of Wales visited the air base, where he previously worked, to help celebrate its 85th anniversary. The visit took place on Tuesday (April 28) in Holyhead, Wales.
William‘s appearance was in his role as Royal Honorary Air Commodore and he spoke with members of the 202 Squadron. He was stationed at the base between 2012 and 2013 during his time serving as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot.
“I loved my time up here. It was great fun… I do miss it. I miss the job, I miss the camaraderie,” he said (via BBC).
Chief maritime instructor Andy Batchelor reminisced about his time working with William.
“He’s a great guy, friendly, easy to get on with, a very competent pilot. He was very easy to work with. He just wanted to be Will – he was just one of the team,” he said. “It’s great to have him back here for the 85th anniversary. He’s the Prince of Wales so it makes sense, but I think he’s got credibility because he’s lived and worked here in north Wales.”
