A Tyne Tees Television news report with Dennis Ramshaw transmitted 31 March 1967 on the Aden emergency. Filmed from a moving vehicle, the camera follows a military Land Rover as it drives along a road and comes to a stop beside a large building or compound. As the camera follows the vehicle, the reporter talks about the current situation and about the 1st Battalion of the Northumbrian Fusiliers who are serving there. A military Land Rover drives along a road in Aden, Yemen. The United Nations mission is due any day now and the terrorists are promising them ‘a pretty hot welcome’. Because of this, the 1st Battalion of the Northumbrian Fusiliers will probably see more action as they are part of the British peacekeeping force. One of the areas they are patrolling is the terrorist blackspot known as the Crater. The Land Rover continues to drive along a desert road passing a number of British soldiers in full gear walking in the opposite direction. This area is a ‘hotbed of trouble’ made up of 100,000 people; ‘roughly half the population of Newcastle living in an area half the size of Jesmond’ says the reporter. The vehicle turns into the driveway of a large building and pulls into a parking spot. The Fusiliers are made up of 750 men and officers. The man behind all the troubles is Egyptian President Nasser who is poised to cross into Aden when the British leave next year. He has asked terrorists to cause as much trouble as possible leaving the country in such a state that he can just move in.
