Army pilot dismissed for posting military content online

thesun.co.uk

An Army pilot has been expelled from the military after sharing sensitive information about helicopters on his OnlyFans page. Harry Bourne, a 19-year-old Apache helicopter pilot, posted videos and photos that revealed details about Wattisham Airfield in Suffolk. This site was also where Prince Harry received his helicopter training. Bourne's posts included pictures of him with military equipment, along with adult content. After a military investigation, he was told to stop sharing this information due to national security concerns. Bourne stated that he decided not to follow this order because he was earning significantly more money — around £30,000 a month — from OnlyFans compared to his Army salary. Following his dismissal, Bourne continues to post adult content while wearing his old Army uniform. He has purchased a penthouse in Manchester and has nearly 1,000 subscribers on his OnlyFans account. This incident is similar to that of another serviceman, Zak Blackman, who was discharged last year for making substantial amounts from adult content filmed on an aircraft carrier. A military source emphasized that such postings could expose bases to security risks, including potential terror attacks. An Army spokesman reiterated the importance of using social media responsibly and maintaining the military's high standards.
