1950141716Aden & Yemen: 1950s. Into the remote places" - policing tribal disturbances in the Arabian Peninsula from the air A compelling archive of rare documents and maps. RAF operations in Aden and Yemen represented a late phase of the imperial air-policing strategy advanced by Churchill in the 1920s in response to post-Great War demobilization and Britain's expanding responsibilities in the Middle East and Africa. Claimed as a naval base on the East India route in 1839 and strengthened after the opening of the Suez Canal Aden relied on tribal treaties but as the Protectorate expanded over-stretched ground forces prompted RAF deployment from 1928 as an economical means of control. Airstrips centred on RAF Khormaksar - motto "Into the Remote Places" - supported reconnaissance leaflet-dropping and punitive strikes that helped secure the Anglo-Yemen Treaty of Friendship 1934 and later frontier policing. Reversal followed in 1954-55 with the loss of Robat while the Suez Crisis intensified unrest and Yemeni pressure leading to air attacks covert tribal agitation intervention in Oman and escalation of the frontier war into Yemen during 1958-59. The present material belongs to this volatile final phase preceding federation in 1963. Central to these operations were maps produced by the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre a discreet intelligence organization rooted in pre-war MI6 work. It was formalized during the Second World War and renamed in 1953 following the adoption of radar-scope photography. Headquartered at RAF Brampton and having Middle East offices in Cyprus and a detachment at Aden JARIC processed high-altitude imagery from Canberra PR9 and Victor aircraft. The archive comprises secret air-liaison instructions annotated operational maps a frontier-war-marked sketch map of Ahwar a Middle East Air Force memorandum on oxygen-mask trials RAF pilot log cards and a Khormaksar wall shield - rare survivals of evident operational use and a tangible record of Britain's final armed presence in southern Arabia. Small archive of maps memos and other documentation as detailed above. General signs of handling commensurate with active service use but overall very good. Major Michael A.
