Prince Harry has returned to Afghanistan to fly Apache attack helicopters in the fight against the Taliban during a four-month tour of combat duty.

Having arrived in the war-torn country in the early hours, the 27-year-old Army captain spent his first morning at Camp Bastion checking out the state-of-the-art Army aircraft he has likened to a 'robot'.

According to the Daily Express, the royal climbed up to peer into the cockpit of one of the helicopters he will fly and crouched down to inspect its weapons.

Harry has made no secret of his desire to return to active service.

He has spent the past three years changing the direction of his military career from an armoured reconnaissance troop leader to an Army helicopter pilot in order to be posted back to Afghanistan.

According to the paper, the UK's Ministry of Defence has chosen to confirm this deployment after a threat assessment concluded that acknowledging his presence in Afghanistan would not put the royal or his colleagues at further risk.
