Spent a few days in Aden in September 1962, on my way to a 12 month posting at RAF Masirah. Another few days part way through my tour for a Court Martial (as a witness). And a final few days in September 1963 on my way back to UK, with the best tan of my life and a love of the desrt I've never lost.
