Naked 3-Star
 
I wondered why his Twitter feed had gone quiet! :cool:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lothes-on.html


In a witness statement, Mr Herbert recounted how he was working on a fence when his partner rang him and told him to look over into his neighbour's paddock. He claimed: 'I was about 30 metres from Andrew at this point and only had him in my view for a second or so long, enough to realise it was Andrew and he was naked.'

He said he was shocked and left 'wondering if there were any children in the area who may come across Andrew naked'.

He continued: 'Andrew was still in the same corner of his paddock and as I approached, I could see his face as he turned towards me and had a look of shock or surprise. I could see that Andrew was fully naked not even wearing shoes.'

Storm in a teacup. Last paragraph in the DM.


A solicitor for Mr Turner said the claims were inaccurate and 'vexatious'. He emphasised that none of the allegations had been prosecuted despite the claims being 'the subject of a lengthy police investigation and review by CPS'.
Press out to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Any connection between any of Rotten Rupert's newspapers and the truth is purely accidental.

Finningley Boy 14th Feb 2022 00:25

So what do we imagine occurred, the good Air Marshal thought he saw/heard an intruder in his Garden, said to his good lady, call the police I'm going to investigate, ran outside and....realized he didn't have his jammies on?!? I wonder if the person, persons, reporting this enquired at the time, excuse me, is everything alright? Can we help?

I thought it might have been The Other Andrew...

"No Shoes"!!! My word, standards have dropped.

Dunhovrin 14th Feb 2022 07:09

A man out standing in his field.

SimonK 14th Feb 2022 07:17

Hope this blows over quickly for him - genuine good guy and a great Squadron Boss too.

DuckDodgers 14th Feb 2022 07:59

Complete nonstory and definitely not a service matter. This isn't the scandal you are looking for, move along.........

minigundiplomat 14th Feb 2022 08:14

One of the best bosses I ever had. If AT wishes, I’m sure the Chinook Force could persuade Mr Herbert to get a life.

Barksdale Boy 14th Feb 2022 08:24

Met him once - very nice chap. Ms BB was so charmed that she said he was the most personable man she'd met since Alan Whicker.

Evalu8ter 14th Feb 2022 08:27

AT has led something of a charmed life until now, but, like many here, I like the guy and rate him as both a commander and a bloke to have a beer with. I guess this adverse publicity, regardless of the facts, will give Mayhew a clear run now at being the next CAS….

Why was RAF deputy in garden without any clothes on? | Daily Mail Online

If true, how stupid. But I suspect there is some truth in this report.

OldnDaft 14th Feb 2022 08:40

Hopefully this means Mayhew is next CAS. And hopefully some respite from the mad ideas club.....

ShyTorque 14th Feb 2022 09:00

Is there any law requiring one to wear clothes in your own paddock? I think not.

As for snooping on your neighbours and voyeurism……

One of our (female) neighbours has been known to sunbathe naked. I was a bit surprised but made a point of averting my eyes…seriously, which is I think what any normal bloke would do.

So I suspect there might be more to this vexatious claim than meets the eye….so to speak.

Coincidentally, the TV presenter Kate Humble was being interviewed on Radio 2 this morning. She lives on a small farm and I recall her once saying how she likes to walk naked around her fields. No Sun scandal there, though. Presumably because she has no vexatious neighbours.

NutLoose 14th Feb 2022 09:09

Well if true, that's a total c*ck up by him.

All he needs to say is he was wearing flesh / light coloured shorts.

The one thing there wasn’t was a coverup!

pasta 14th Feb 2022 09:11

Does this publication that's trying to create a scandal out of a 54-year-old bloke exposing himself in his own garden still publish pictures of young women exposing themselves on its own pages?

sitigeltfel 14th Feb 2022 09:34

To be reduced in rank to Bare Vice Marshal?

(I'll get me coat!)

Lima Juliet 14th Feb 2022 09:51

Reading the various articles this morning then it appears to have happened last August 2021. It also states that he is believed to have been served a community resolution order - which allegedly required him to make an apology. That Order is given under caution to which you can contest in Court - however, I’m guessing that his legal advice told him to take the caution, by doing so admit his guilt. It is also a bit naive to think that people won’t notice you wandering around without a stitch on when the pictures of his £1.5m Grade 2 cottage shows it has only estate railings and sparse trees around the garden and paddocks.

I also echo what a nice chap he is, but he has had been in and around some proper howlers under his leadership too. Remember the RAF Roundel bikini within the crappy RAF Clothing Collection, also the RAF Spirit of Adventure disaster or being in and around UK MFTS - all of which have been dissected previously on this forum. He has also been front and centre pushing the ASTRA thing, which also seems to be having a difficult birth!

However, it is a real shame that this latest event will likely be what he is remembered for. I hope he finds a path out of this in retirement.

MPN11 14th Feb 2022 09:52

Given his Rotary background, I suppose neighbours seeing a chopper in his garden would be half-expected.

(Hat, Coat etc.)

Trinity 09L 14th Feb 2022 10:07

Neighbours quote “I no longer feel comfortable when I come outside”, (hat, coat etc 🚀)

langleybaston 14th Feb 2022 11:31

just popping out to his tool shed?

Having a kick while he's down, eh?

newt 14th Feb 2022 11:54

Surely it’s not as bad as streaking through the Mess on a ladies guest night!😂😂😂😂

NutLoose 14th Feb 2022 11:57

He should have stuck his three stars over his bits like they do on censored photo's.

Was Rich Knighton with him, then, equally naked? I didn't read that, if he was.....

Don't get me wrong, I think Mayhew would be epic as CAS, but don't think he's necessarily a 'shoo-in'.

Perhaps it will be like the Downing Street revelations......more info each day! Fair point though

langleybaston 14th Feb 2022 12:59

As it was summer there was no chance of his assets being frozen.

Finningley Boy 14th Feb 2022 13:03

I take it Cressida Dick won't be investigating. Off her patch!

sangiovese. 14th Feb 2022 13:31

With what’s going on in the world besides giving us amusing naked jokes this really is a non story. Unless he wore brown shoes after 6pm. Or HKLP. That would be positively offensive.


Hueymeister 14th Feb 2022 14:24

Wasn't this also his doing?

Just a nice demonstration of the soft field braking technique! (minute 2;37)



Hueymeister 14th Feb 2022 14:40

There has to be more to this...maybe Andy and his neighbour were having a neighbourly tiff..

the neighbour...

Union Jack 14th Feb 2022 15:10

I couldn't help noticing that the OP's moniker and location appear reasonably appropriate in the circumstances, but part of the online Sun's headline suggesting that the officer in question had been "suspended and probed by cops" seems distinctly below the belt.

Stuart Sutcliffe 14th Feb 2022 17:25

He only has to say it wasn't him in the paddock, because he was at Pizza Express in Woking at the time, not sweating, and all will be fine! :E

Blue Bottle 14th Feb 2022 17:25

Just Nipped out
 
lets see if he says it was hot and he only just nipped out for a second. What a stupid thing to do with a 18 Year old neighbour...

fitliker 14th Feb 2022 18:03

The police told me it is perfectly legal for me to walk around my house naked , I just have to be indoors when I do it :)

Minor adjustment …

I think we should turn the other cheek.
