I was in Aden in 1967 serving in the RN on HMS Yarnton . I was a 17yr Radio Electrical Mechanic and therefore known as REM. I would like to get in contact with any other Yarnton ship mates at that time especially my swimming team mate 'Penny' (crawl) and 2 Royal Marines of 45c who were also in...
Hello served in HMS Sheba, and the Minesweepers in Reserve. Then helped take HMS Calton out of Reserve then drafted to HMS Calton doing Coastal Shore Patrols, which was amusing in away as the engines fitted in the Dows could easily out run a Minesweeper ! ! !

Looks like we're still no nearer to my request that forces reunited honour the 22 lost soldiers who died in Crater almost 50 years ago, I was obviously wrong but I thought this is part of what this site is all about, they said that they will be in touch and I have heard no more so I am going to try...
Sandy(Taff) Dickie,
Aden was my first posting as a 17 and half yr. old, serving in the RAOC. Accommodated in Singapore Lines(Banda 188) working at the Ammunition Depot with Crater just over the hill. I served up to the withdrawal.
