There is still a huge mountain for me to climb if I am to pass the Apache training course. To be honest, it will be one of the biggest challenges in my life. I am very determined, though, as I do not want to let down the people who have shown faith in my ability to fly this aircraft on operations. I am really, really pleased."The decision as to which Apache Regiment Lt Wales will serve with has not yet been taken; this will be decided by the end of the year with the Army Air Corps best interests at heart.
