A propos de cet article

Original green cloth in colour illustrated jacket depicting a local street scene with small RAF logo 15 x 23cm. 236pp illustrated in colour and b/w, including numerous locally relevant adverts. Covers very good with some damp staining. Interiors fine except for Japanese paper reinforcement to the guttering at the title page. The jacket is fair only with some loss. This was written, compiled and published by the Guides and Handbooks of Africa Publishing Company on behalf of the RAF (credited to the back flap). It includes an opening message from Air Marshal Sir Charles Elworthy, who was Commander-in-Chief of Middle East Command (Aden), a newly formed unified command that succeeded the British Forces Arabian Peninsula on March 1961. (Elworthy had been appointed C-in-C of British Forces Arabian Peninsula in August 1960). This guide was therefore issued on the occasion of the reorganisation of British forces in Aden. Although it was directed primarily at service personnel and their families, it acknowledges shared interest for transit passengers and businessmen. Chapters cover background information, living in Aden, shopping, off duty, sightseeing, Middle East Command, Naval and Ground Forces, Services' welfare, Leave in Kenya, Eastleigh for adventure (this refers to the RAF station near Nairobi, "a springboard for some of the roughest, toughest and most adventurous activities in the RAF" including mountaineering, rock climbing, canoeing, sailing, and safari arranged under the RAF's Expedition Training Scheme), Middle East memories (by Air Commodore EL Howard-Williams), Little Aden, Muslim beliefs and Adeni customs (by Farouk Luqman), History of Aden (by Anne Webster), Postage stamps of Aden Colony. Farouk Luqman (1935-2019) was born in Aden, the son of Mohammed Luqman, who owned Fatat Al-Jazeerah, one of the first Arabic newspapers in the Arabian Peninsula. He became a prominent journalist in Saudi Arabia, and Editor-in-Chief of Arab News.…
