RAF

Spent a weekend with Aden Vets at Blackpool nearly seven or eight years ago

Am looking for any information in regards to a Sergent Grant Stewart who served in Aden with the RAF as an engineer. I know my Dad was there though he never spoke of it. He spoke freely about being armed with rifle and side arm in Cyprus whenever he left base. He left the RAF to serve overseas with Marconi Radar and became Manager of Marconi\'s Oman and middle east division> I want to know more about Aden and what he did and went through.

Good afternoon everyone,

We are a group of veterans whose website and Facebook pages are dedicated to those who served in the British Forces (All Branches) in Oman & Aden. Many of our members served in Aden in the 60's. If you have any photos that you would like us to post on our sites, or would like to join us as members (It's free to join), we would welcome you. We cannot post our website address on here as it is not allowed, but if you google "RAF Oman Old Comrades" you will find us and also we have two Facebook pages "RAF Oman & Aden Old Comrades" and a group discussion page "We walked the Sands". We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email me at the address given

Many thanks,

Brian "Dobbie" Dolan (Admin)
