Half-naked woman found hiding in airman’s wardrobe after reports of smell coming from his room
An investigation is underway after an aircraft technician’s lover was found in his wardrobe, having been hiding at a Navy base for two weeks.
Officers forced their way in to the room after receiving complaints about a smell and found the woman hiding semi-naked among the airman’s jumpsuits.
The member of the elite Commando Helicopter Force tried to keep his guest hidden by putting a sign outside his door saying: ‘Do not enter, own cleaning taken care of’. He told his superiors she was his girlfriend and not a spy.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) have since said there is no suspicion of espionage but are still investigating how she was smuggled into RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset. It is thought the technician sneaked her into the base in the boot of his car when he returned after his Christmas break.
The woman, a Dutch-national who was born in Indonesia, was escorted from the base by armed police and was said to have left the UK immediately.
A Royal Navy source told the Sun the woman was an ‘unauthorised foreign national on Ministry of Defence property’ and called the incident ‘an astonishing breach’ of security.
The airman, who is said to serve the 847 Naval Air Squadron, told bosses he first met his girlfriend on holiday in 2019.
Discussions over how he should be punished are still ongoing while the MoD investigates.
A spokesperson said: “The Royal Navy takes any breach of security or Covid guidelines extremely seriously. We are investigating the incident but the individual is a European national and there is no suspicion of espionage.”
