The IWM has some interesting photos including:

A Royal Navy Wessex Mk V helicopter from HMS ALBION carries stores ashore for men of 42 Commando on 25 November 1967. At this stage ships and aircraft of the Naval Task Force were assembled off Aden in preparation for the withdrawal which took place in the following week.

The departure of the High Commissioner of Aden, Sir Humphrey Trevelyan, from Khormaksar on 28 November 1967. The Commander-in-Chief in the Middle East, Admiral Le Fanu, is seen in the foreground

(So it seems that Sharkey was right. )

A British Westland Wessex helicopter of 848 Naval Air Squadron disembarks a party of Royal Marine commandos on an aircraft carrier off Aden.

The last British soldier to leave Aden: Lieutenant Colonel 'Dai' Morgan, Commanding Officer of 42 Royal Marine Commando, pictured as he arrived on board HMS ALBION by Wasp helicopter shortly after 3pm on 29 November 1967

Sad that the IWM categorises a Royal Marine as a 'soldier'.
