4. SOUNDBITE (English) Colonel Neil Sexton, commander of task force Jaguar (UK Aviation group in Afghanistan):
"We've treated him exactly like any other co-pilot gunner in the Apache force. He's a junior officer in the army, he knows what to expect, having said that the conditions here in Camp Bastion are very good so we live reasonably comfortably. The food's good, the mail gets through and so on. I haven't treated Harry Wales any differently from any of his colleagues."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Prince Harry, Apache co-pilot:
"So as soon as we get out here LCJ jackets on, Dave jumps in the back, starts the aircraft up, there's a pre-flight (inaudible) that the aircraft has to go through, that takes about a minute and a half depending on the state of the aircraft and what mood it is in, while it's all doing that basically everything in this aircraft takes time to warm up. Once its warm it's good to go and it is spot on."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Prince Harry, Apache co-pilot:
"Once the engines start, once you're rolling, that's when my job becomes a little bit rushed. So yeah, get the siting system up, make sure all the weapons, make sure all the inventory is right, basically making sure that however many rockets I know are in there are showing in there. Fuel, make sure we have enough fuel for the trip, there is no reason why we shouldn't, make sure no missiles are unlatched because that's going to ruin your day if you are going to have lose one and apart from that there is very little to do in the front until we take off. And once the radio is started that's when it get's all quite exciting. So you're doing the wheels up, you're speaking to the JTAC on the pad, and it goes on and on and on but it is not too bad. There are some areas where we've had four radios going at once and you try and break it down between the two of you which is fine and you've got volume controls on all of them so if someone is like, nenenene (speaking a lot) it's normally the same people nagging you in that ear so I just go... (mimicks volume control) minimise and then crack on."

STORYLINE:
Britain's Ministry of Defence revealed late on Monday that Prince Harry is returning from a 20-week deployment in Afghanistan, where he served as an Apache helicopter co-pilot with the Army Air Corps.
It did not immediately divulge his exact whereabouts.
In interviews conducted in Afghanistan, the third in line to the British throne described feelings of boredom, frustration and satisfaction during a tour that saw him kill Taliban fighters on missions in support of ground troops.
He also spoke of his struggle to balance his job as an army officer with his royal role - and his relief at the chance to be "one of the guys".
Stationed at Camp Bastion, a sprawling British base in the southern Afghan desert, the prince - known as Captain Wales in the military - flew scores of missions as a co-pilot gunner, sometimes firing rockets and missiles at Taliban fighters.
