Thanks Deano for the most atmospheric set of Aden photos I have seen, as I said earlier you have captured everything of that desolate place but the smells! Incidentally, during a stay in hospital a few years back my fellow patient Abdul was born in Steamer Point and left as a teenager in 1966 as the Arabs began expelling their British oppressors, oddly enough choosing to settle in the homeland of said oppressors. Normally very chatty he would not talk about the rebellion at all but spent ages poring through my old photos. I was intrigued that he pronounced Ah-den as in sad-den rather than Ay-den as we have always called it.
