Sorry to return to this thread a bit late. I'd intended to post the picture I have that Chris mentioned of a Northumberland Fusiliers officer in Aden wearing the small badge in the beret with no hackle. I've included the whole picture as well - it's interesting as it shows clearly that the mountain out on the peninsula is/was a crater, the town of 'Crater' lying within it. I'm guessing the pic is probably early '67 possibly Easter. Everyone looks happy and relaxed so I'm guessing it's pre the Police Mutiny in June. The whole atmosphere changed after that and we could hear gunfire on a daily basis from Crater, with all the military families being out within a month or so. Mike
