FLIGHT OF FANTASY

PRINCE Harry’s dramatic account of a “suicide” training flight is a fantasy – says the man who was sitting alongside him.

The royal claims in his autobiography that an Army instructor deliberately stalled their Slingsby T67 Firefly propeller plane without warning.

But ex-Sergeant Major Michael Booley insists every detail of training flights is discussed beforehand.

And he tells the Sunday Mirror: “I am staggered by this. In shock even.”

His clear version of the incident suggests Harry has come up with yet another porker – after a string of claims in his book were proven to be inaccurate.

The prince wrote in his controversial bestseller: “On one of our first flights together, with no warning, Booley threw the aircraft into a stall.

“I felt the left wing dip, a sickening feeling of disorder, of entropy, and then, after several seconds that felt like decades, he recovered the aircraft and levelled the wings.
