My first banger in Aden was a Simca Aronde. I think it came with my des res (Bazara South - on the Shamsan side behind Maalla Strait). It was without doubt the worst car that I ever owned. NAAFI started selling the Fiat 850 Coupe for £580 in 1966 and a lot of us binned the dreadful bangers and bought one. Here is a shot taken of a 105 Sqn Sunday lunchtime gathering at the late Dennis Burles's OMQ at Khormaksar. By that time we had an 0600 - 1800 curfew so Sunday lunchtime was about the only time that we could socialise in any numbers.
