Prince William will take the controls of Army's 25 million pound killer chopper, Apache.

Second in line to the throne, Wills has already trained to fly with the Royal Air Force and would now soon be seen taking control behind the enormously powerful chopper.

The 26-year-old future king will train over the Salisbury plains to be on the lookout for mock Taliban targets followed by Hellfire missiles to destroy them at more than 170mph.

Wills has earned his RAF wings but sources said he is a long way off flying Apaches solo. But with a top gun pilot to help, he is expected to get the chance to take the controls.

"William can't wait," The Sun quoted a source as saying.

Meanwhile, the handsome Prince will be doing his bit of charity by judging a photographic contest aiding the homeless. Wills shall pick the best images shot by rough sleepers who have been asked to document their lives for a year. Many pictures will be auctioned to help Crisis, a charity for the homeless.

Approximately 250 pictures will be a part of the exhibition, 'A Positive View' which will also include work from leading photographers.
