I served there ,61-63 Loved the beginning with everyone enjoying themselves in the ocean and lounging by the beach.However at the sharp end 8 sqdn Hunters for about 4 months were the only hunters there and we worked non-stop to keep them serviceable ,not a pleasant place although some of my old colleagues see Aden through rose tinted specs!!I did see an ex 8 sqdn Hunter in Hendon some years ago .There are no Maritime shackeltons preserved ,only AEW with the radar removed and long bomb doors fitted!
