Pilot Harry faces return to Afghan front line: report

July 21, 2013 21:01

Prince Harry may return to Afghanistan for another spell of duty after military chiefs decided to use Apache helicopters to provide "top cover" for British troops as they withdraw from the war-torn country.

The Prince had not expected to return to the front line after spending four months in Afghanistan earlier this year. However, 'The Sunday Times' quoting defence sources said plans for Harry's unit, the Army Air Corps' 3 Regiment, to return next year are being considered.

28-year-old Harry recently qualified as an Apache air commander.
