THE British Army’s most decorated frontline soldier is set to speak at Bovington’s Tank Museum.

Mick Flynn, dubbed ‘Bullet Magnet’ by colleagues, has served in every major British war zone of the past three decades.

The fearless Welshman famously returned to fight his third tour of Afghanistan in 2010, aged 50.

And he remains a serving member of the Blues and Royals – the same regiment as Princes William and Harry – today.

Indeed, Prince William once heaped the highest public praise on Mick, describing him as a “legend” who “stands for what my regiment is all about; a man of great humanity and humour, but also a superlative fighting soldier.”

Mick, who was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross serving in Iraq in 2003, then the Military Cross in Afghanistan in 2006, will speak about his career next Thursday.

Tank museum spokesman Nik Wyness said: “From his uncompromising South Wales childhood – within a whisker of Cardiff Prison – to the streets of Belfast, where he first learned the bitter realities of armed conflict, Flynn has had no difficulty finding trouble.

“Whether on the Falklands cliff tops, where he witnessed the Sir Galahad going down in flames, or in the deserts of Iraq where he and his crew pinned down an entire division of enemy tanks, he has carried the attack with a coolness that has earned him the respect of princes, generals and his fellow soldiers.”

Flynn published his biography ‘Bullet Magnet’ in 2010.
