Prince Charles’ jet in near-miss
Prince Charles’ private jet reportedly came within a few hundred yards of a mid-air collision with a holiday aircraft carrying 186 passengers.
According to a report in The Sun newspaper, the prince was en route to Madrid for a service to commemorate those killed in March’s bombings when the incident took place in the skies above Berkshire; the other aircraft involved is believed to have been an Airbus owned by a European charter company.
The pilots of both aircraft both reportedly filed near-miss reports. An air traffic controller reportedly told the newspaper: “Both planes were lucky not to have collided. It was very lucky, to say the least.”
The Sun also quotes air safety expert Kieran Daly as saying: “When you have an aircraft of the Queen’s flight and a transport jet at cruising height and a near-miss report has been filed, something significant has happened. Something, somewhere, went wrong.”
