Funnily enough I was only just talking to Mrs TTN about Aden yesterday. When we were outside the camp in civvies we certainly weren't armed, but always armed when in uniform, of course. I was there in 1966, I suspect by 1967 things had tightened up considerably.

They tightened to the extent that we were no longer allowed to go outside camp. By then the families had gone home and the Camel Club did a roaring trade. I ended up at Ballykelly where we fired five rounds SLR per annum under the watchful eye of the local "Rock" but were never trusted with them for guard duties.
