Colony of Aden
Thanks for your contributions to the Colony of Aden. I suspect they will be subject to further modification by other editors, but provide welcome deeper background into the Colony's circumstances.

One aspect of the British presence that I'm personally aware of, since my father commanded the RAF Signals facility from 59-61, was the the vital role, pre-satellite, of Aden as a communications relay center. Previously that function had been at Abu Seer, Egypt, in the early 50s, and then Cyprus. As both became untenable, Aden was a vital relay link between Britain and the far-east.
