- The Prince of Wales and the former England captain were in Northolt
Prince William joined David Beckham this morning as the couple headed to see New London Air Ambulance Charity helicopters.
The former England captain, 49, and future King, 42, visited RAF Northolt to see two aircraft.
William, who worked as an air ambulance pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance between March 2015 and July 2017, once again sported his designer beard, which is also a favorite of the sports star.
The helicopter is a result of the ‘Up Against Time’ fundraising appeal, which was launched in 2021, after it became clear that within a matter of years, London’s Air Ambulance Charity’s MD902 helicopters would be taken out of service, which would seriously affected the results of thousands of people. of patients each year.
The appeal raised £16 million which enabled the purchase of two new H135 helicopters which will ensure the medical team can continue to provide vital services across London.

He will also meet with Airbus engineers who participated in the creation and development of the new helicopters.
