DID PRINCE WILLIAM USE RAF CHINOOK TO TRANSPORT BOOZE FOR STAG DO?

That is the implication in an article by David Litchfield in The Mail on Sunday today, entitled "Flaming sambucas and a lapdancer called Gigi: What REALLY happened on Wills and Harry's 72-hour stag party for Peter Phillips", which contains the following;

"The mystery guests arrived last Friday week with their own mini-bar in the form of magnums of the eye-wateringly fashionable Snow Leopard vodka, single malt whisky and grand cru wines.

Presumably, apart from the Princes, that was why they needed William's RAF Chinook – their precious cargo being far too valuable for the vagaries of a public ferry.

...The Princes undoubtedly endeared themselves to Cowes despite doing little more than promoting binge drinking, much of the fuel for which they appeared to have brought from the mainland. Presumably because they had a means of procurement, which avoided payment.

The least they could have done was to pay the going rate for a chartered Chinook, six police minders at weekend rates and two Range Rovers plus fuel.

Sometimes it is difficult to see much that qualifies the Princes as members of the Royal Family. They certainly spent most of their stay behaving more like rich squaddies than the Queen's military officers. "


What is worse; using a RAF Chinook to transport booze for a stag party, or using your girlfriend's back garden for training in how to land a Chinook?
