PRINCE William was said to be devastated after flying his first helicopter rescue mission in which the victim died.<\/p>\n
Prince William, 28, was the co-pilot of a Royal Air Force (RAF) crew that was scrambled after a dog walker fell 50m from a cliff in North Wales, The Sun reports.<\/p>\n
He helped spot Barbara Mageean, 73, lying on rocks and guided the pilot as he edged their Sea King helicopter into position before a rescuer was lowered by winch.<\/p>\n
The crew bravely put their lives on the line as they hovered perilously close to the cliffs in strong winds while Mrs Mageean was put on a stretcher and winched up to the chopper. However, she was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.<\/p>\n
The grandmother of five was walking her dog with her husband, Owen, at Llanbadraig on the isle of Anglesey, off northern Wales.<\/p>\n
It was thought Mrs Mageean tried to grab the pet, fearing it might go over the cliff, but then lost her balance.<\/p>\n
The prince became a search and rescue (SAR) pilot last year and is based at RAF Valley on Anglesey.<\/p>\n
A source at the base said, “William has been on shouts before, but this was the first time he had been faced with a death. It is always tragic and frustrating. He kept calm and focused on his training. It is something he will not forget for a long time.”<\/p>\n
An RAF spokesman said, “We can confirm that the duty SAR crew at RAF Valley was scrambled to assist an elderly female cliff faller.”<\/p>\n
