I met some fellows who had served in Aden in the 1960's, just before the government closed the base. One was a mate of my brother, both based at High Wycombe at the time we met, and the others were my brother's brother in law and his mate. (My brother is ex RAF.) These chaps had a few tales to tell, especially when it all kicked off and "Mad Mitch" was rounding up the rebels with his highlanders. One fellow was a driver of a fire appliance, and he was on duty when incoming rounds from the rebels put a nice new pattern in the windows.
