I was in Aden in January 1956. My mother had been instructed by my dad that when Asturias docked she had to go ashore and find a market trader who sold cameras and barter for a Zeiss Ikon. In my mind's eye I can see my mother, my younger brother and I walking to the market. Unbelievable how intrepid and fearless the women of that generation were.

This was similar to the camera she bought.

MPN11's post reminds me that I must get those colour slides -- taken with the Zeiss Ikon -- converted into digital format. My father invariably had his camera with him when flying into the forts and when we travelled around the Penisular. There is a shoe box full of them.
