Captain Wales got the chance to indulge his love of flying when he spent time with an Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) Tiger.

The Army revealed details of his time with the 1st Brigade, and it looks like it was very physical!

In a press release the Army detailed his day-to-day activities.

“Including physical training sessions and preparing for field exercises as part of Exercise Thunder Observer, a Joint Fire Team Training exercise, soon to be conducted by the 1st Brigade’s 8th/12th Medium Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery. Designed to maintain combat readiness, the exercise will include a live fire collaboration between ground and air assets.” The press release read.

He may be the Prince of Wales, but that didn’t stop Harry from getting down and soldiering on.

While on duty Prince Harry met with locals of the Wuggubun community in the Kununurra region of Western Australia – and they seemed to love him! While there he spent time chatting to the elders and playing with the kids.

He also got the chance to spend time with some of the wounded, injured and ill men and women who’ve served for Australia. Harry even joined them for a game of wheelchair AFL!

Prince Harry will return to Australia after he attends the Gallipoli commemorations in Turkey with his father, Prince Charles.
