Slightly off-thread, but I have had a lot of fun looking at airfields I have served at/flown from to see how they have changed. One which really amazed me was Khormaksar in Aden (South Yemen). When I was there in 1966 it was home to Hunters (2 squadrons) Argosies, Beverleys, Shackletons, Whirlwinds, Twin Pioneers and (I think) Javelins, with lots of Transport Command visiting Britts and Comets. Taking a look this morning the latest pic shows 6 helicopters and a 4 prop transport (my a/c recognition was always rubbish, no idea of types, but presumably Russian). I don't suppose the Yemenis have much of an air force, but what a waste of a huge resource handed over in its entirety in 1967 when we made a rather rapid departure.
