In July 1949, he was promoted squadron leader and appointed equerry to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Following King George VI's death on February 6 1952 he became equerry to the Queen and, from 1953 until 1956, equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh.

At first, Horsley was expected to carry out normal RAF duties as commander of No 29, a Meteor IX jet night fighter squadron at Tangmere in Sussex, in tandem with Palace duties. In 1953 the problem was resolved when Horsley was invited to join Prince Philip's staff full time. In this period Horsley also pushed forward arrangements for Prince Philip to learn to fly.

He also became interested in Unidentified Flying Objects and began a prolonged investigation into the more credible reports of sightings. Horsley concluded that whereas the majority could be eliminated by natural occurrences, there were some RAF and British Overseas Airways sightings which defied explanation. In his biography, he gives a detailed account of what he believed to be contact with an extraterrestrial.

From 1971, Horsley was commander of No 1 Group's nuclear deterrent bomber force. After two years he became Deputy C-in-C, Strike Command, where he remained until retirement in 1975.

  • Equally as likely that the "alien" was simply a KGB agent and this was a Russian operation as they knew Horsley's interest in extraterrestrial matters. They might have put a small dose of LSD in his tea to make the experience seem a bit bizarre.
