Hoon does a Mulley

[newswatcher]

Daily Mail reports that Geof Hoon fell asleep whilst in a meeting with 30 RAF officers in the Gulf.

Couldn't possibly be true, could it?

[Training Risky]

It depends who the officers were.

I and others have been known to doze off when being addressed by the brass;)

[opso]

He'd hardly be the first or last to do this when faced with 30-1 odds!

[Rude C'man]

Snor Snor Snor Hoon make a gaff surely not a true proffeional like himself. Come on bafhoon come up to your beloved ashfield and see what a ****e hole it really is .......

[Scud-U-Like]

I seem to recall the famous somnolent Fred Mulley pic shows him surrounded by very senior RAF officers. Might there be a connection here?

[Wycombe]

might be wrong (it was a long time ago), but wasn't Auntie Betty sat close by aswell?

[HalesAndPace]

Yep, the photo (taken by Ron Bell in 1978) showed good old Fred asleep, next to Auntie Betty, at a Royal Fly Past – Finningley springs to mind, but can’t be sure. Can find the story, but not the photo.

[BEagle]

'Sleepy Fred' nodded off after an excellent lunch at the 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee at RAF Finningley. Seemingly oblivious of the Harrier hovering in front of HM.....

[DummyRun]

Anyone know if the dias is still around with the small brass plaque where his seat was that said 'Fred slept here' or somthing similar.
