"Two people suffered minor injuries when their helicopter crashed at RAF Tern Hill, where Prince William is training to become a pilot.
A spokesman for RAF Shawbury, where the Squirrel aircraft is based at the Defence Helicopter Flying School, described them as "walking wounded".
He said the crash happened as the helicopter was manoeuvring on the runway in Shropshire.
The prince was in a classroom at the time and was not involved in the crash.
An inquiry into the crash, which happened at 1515 GMT, has been launched."
Fear not, dear reader, for I was safely in the classroom also
At least they didn't say it was an RAF helicopter ... oh wait, they did
