Prince Charles makes 80-mile trip by helicopter just days after urging people to turn off lights to save energy
Prince Charles urged people to help the environment by
backing Earth Hour on Friday - but on Sunday he and Camilla flew by
helicopter from Highgrove, Gloucestershire to Ascot, Berkshire. The
royal helicopter left its base in Hampshire to take the Prince of Wales
to Ascot before returning them home later in the day and flying back to
its base. It is estimated the helicopter burned through around 54
gallons of fuel on the journey. If he had taken his Jaguar XF it would
have used around 1.7 gallons, taking just over an hour and a half.
