With just five days to go until Duchess of Cambridge will deliver her first baby, to-be-dad Prince William has borrowed a helicopter(once used to circum-navigate the globe in record time) to reach hospital on time. It is owned by the Prince’s friend, fellow pilot Simon Oliphant-Hope.
A number of travel options were considered but a helicopter was finalised to reach St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, West London, in just 90 minutes. The orange McDonnell Douglas four-seater helicopter is on permanent standby in the garden of his rented farmhouse on the island of Anglesey.
The Air Charter Service flight between Anglesey and London would cost close to 5 lakhs INR!
