Melanie
I am a mere guest on this site, and am grateful to be such.
I enjoy reading the experiences of the contributors to this site and can only imagine how different life was for you all as children growing up in Aden.
I am also privileged to have access to pictures of the area that I would otherwise be unable to see.
It has never been my intention to taint those childhood memories held by you and your contemporaries and, on consideration,perhaps I should have exercised a degree of restraint when posting.
Please accept the apologies of a grumpy old man, and I extend those apologies to everyone that reads my post and feels offended by it.
Take care.
Kind regards
Vic

Hi Cathy,
I don't suppose anyone wanted to be there it was a godforsaken country with its dangers by the dozen . My parents served in the RAF and were there from 1964 until the forces withdrew ( Hence the last Post )
today I would presume the post would be and unaccompanied post if of course it still was a posting. The TV adaptation is not as accurate as it could be but apart from the 1st episode it is getting there although I feel it cannot due to protocol show exactly how nasty it was out there . I have just spoken to my Mother who obviously does remember more than us children she said that the episode where there was a beheading was nearer to the mark. I think us children were protected as much as possible but I know my father (sadly no longer with us )(RAF Police )said he had witnessed so much cruelty. Times sadly have not improved .

Hi Jonathan

Thanks for those kind words.
I try to remember that being old and grumpy doesn't accord the privilege of treading on other people's toes - it doesn't necessarily always happen that way, though.
My wife has long since given up apologising for me. I just get a look that says "I'll talk to you later".

Hope all is well at your end.

Stay safe

Vic

Hi Vic,
No apologies needed. I am a newcomer to this site and have enjoyed reading all of the posts. It also helps to understand different aspects and feelings each individual puts forward, a deeper understanding if you like. The Last Post has at least given me the reason and a kick up the backside to not just sit back but get involved.

Take care and its ok to be grumpy a right of age I tell my children and grandchildren.
