I wish I could remember his name, but when I was instructing at Leeming there was a Group Captain who became Station Commander at Honington. We met several years later and he related the tale that, on a Royal visit, on a very hot day, HM said "Oh! The poor chap!"

Our Group Captain, thinking that one of the parade had fainted in the heat, asked HM what she was referring to and she pointed to the dias and right next to the steps was a plaque saying "Fred Mulley slept here".
