Britain's Prince William, second in line to the throne, is to become an air ambulance pilot from next year.
William, 32, was previously a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force and took part in more than 150 search and rescue operations.
After training for his commercial pilot's licence, and if successful, the future king will fly out of Cambridge and Norwich Airports in eastern England for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.
Starting from next spring, he will fly both day and night shifts, his office said in a statement. Starting as co-pilot, he can qualify as a helicopter commander after a minimum of five months' training, 14 examinations and a flight test.
The Prince starts training in September and will sign an employment contract with a civilian employer, Bond Air Services, and become the first senior royal to do so.
