Reports are that years later, he flew the plane all by himself when he needed to be places as part of his royal duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very relaxed relationship where he\u2019d call up asking to be taken out in the aircraft on weekends, and when training was deployed to Aberystwyth one summer, he\u2019d join us in the mess, fly as much as he could, and we even went hiking and fishing together in our down time. It was a wonderful experience,\u201d then-squadron leader Philip Pinney who taught Charles how to fly a plane recalled.<\/p>\n<p>When Charles enrolled RAF College at Cranwell, Squadron Leader, and later AIR Chief Marshal, Sir Richard Johns was the prince\u2019s instructor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had to put my complete faith in the pilots I was training. Prince Charles had a natural ability and picked things up very quickly. He was an easy student to teach, and I was very impressed by not just his focus and concentration but his impeccable determination to succeed. He was not going to fail, it was as simple as that,\u201d Sir Johns said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64129 ezlazyloaded td-animation-stack-type0-2\" src=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:768x478\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 768w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-500x311.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 500w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-150x93.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 150w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-300x187.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 300w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-696x433.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 696w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-675x420.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 675w\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"478\" data-ezsrcset=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 768w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-500x311.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 500w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-150x93.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 150w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-300x187.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 300w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-696x433.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 696w,https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1-675x420.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 675w\" data-ezsrc=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-1489451827-768x478-1.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:768x478\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prince Charles reaches out to pick up his flying helmet from the wing of his RAF Chipmunk aircraft at Tangmere in Sussex, August 1st 1968.

Being a huge lover of history and ships, Charles made sure he watched the process live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember my days of diving on the ship out in the Solent in the most impossible conditions, it was like swimming in a kind of lentil soup, you couldn\u2019t see anything, or so I thought, until it was under your nose,\u201d Charles recalled when meeting volunteers and fundraisers at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Hampshire in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I could never get over was the sheer expertise of the archaeologists operating under water.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57717 ezlazyloaded td-animation-stack-type0-2\" src=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kingcharles1-768x403-2.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:768x403\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"403\" data-ezsrc=\"https:\/\/boreddaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kingcharles1-768x403-2.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:768x403\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Matthew Horwood \u2013 Pool\/Getty Images<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-despite-the-bad-conditions-and-the-technical-difficulties-then-prince-charles-encouraged-the-workers-to-continue-with-their-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Despite the bad conditions and the technical difficulties, then-Prince Charles encouraged the workers to continue with their work.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI will never forget the almighty crash as the chains came down, and I thought it was all my fault.

He was supposed to board the remains of the vessel. However, security was critical and the idea was ruled out as too dangerous. At that moment, the giant crane called Tog Mor, which is Gaelic for \u201cbig lift,\u201d collapsed and the frame broke away and almost smashed the ship\u2019s hull, close to where the King would have been standing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, the future king of England could have died live on TV, which I think would have changed the whole aspect of the recovery, to be honest. Everything went silent. There wasn\u2019t a whisper.

However, as he was about to approach the runway, the plane hit the ground at too high a speed and there was barely runway left when the pilot decided to brake drastically to stop the plane from sliding onto the rough landscape next to the runway.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the impact, three of the aircraft\u2019s tires broke and the jet stopped only 60ft from a 14ft drop into a stream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t quite a crash.
