Withdrawal from Aden was the final withdrawal of British troops from the colony of Aden, 128 years and 10 months after the Aden Expedition. High Commissioner Sir Humphrey Trevelyan boarded an RAF aircraft at RAF Khormaksar after a short handover ceremony on 30 November 1967. The last troops to leave were the Royal Engineers.[1][2]
