Aden 1962-3 - General views. Khormaksar horse and camel races, SS Canberra

8mm film taken by my family in Aden in 1962/3. SS Canberra on probably her third UK to Australia cruise. Races at Khormaksar (Horse and Camel), Some sort of pipe band and a drive through.
Please no comments regarding the rights or wrongs of the British actions then or later - posting this as it was taken.

I lived in an apartment building called Luqman in Crater. it was opposite the police barracks. The police pipe band was excellent. The locals would site on a wall to watch the new recruits being taught to drill. When the recruits got it wrong the locals would laugh their heads off.

My dad was a civilian in the Air Ministry attached to the RAF from 63-65. We initially lived in Crater then 10 Tavistock House on the Maala Straight. Went to school at Steamer Point in a army convoy with chicken wire anti grenade screens on the windows 6 days a week in clouding Saturday but had every afternoon off. This invariably meant the Italian club at Gold mosur beach near elephant rock and dinner on the way home at the SESSOC club. Flew out in 63 on a British Eagle Britannia from Stansted and came back in 65 on the SS Orcades. Good memories
