I know the Aden program (The Last Post) has been criticised for irrelevant medal ribbons. But I was in Aden for two years 65/67 and was one of the very last servicemen to leave Steamer Point. In its' defence I find the program is spooky and worryingly realistic. It fills me with the same sinking feeling of discomfort I had the whole time I was there. The scenes are IMO entirely accurate and exactly as I remember the place.. The only thing missing is the smell of camels! I expect the next episode will have a wife dangling by rope off a balcony in Maala or the laundry basket exploding having had a jumping jack mine planted within.
Bloody awful place and without doubt the ar@sehole of the World.
