Having served as a soldier in Aden in 19966-67 I would say I am 99% certain that is indeed Aden.
I can almost smell it from here!

The white salvage vessel in the background is probably the "MS SVITZER".
Built in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1920/21 as "MS Em. Z. Svitzer", 672 GRT, 1250 BHP.
Modified at Elsinore, Denmark, in 1956 to 666 GRT, 3600 BHP.
In 1970/71 (approx.) on station in the Indian Ocean/Aden.
I hope more photos of these/other old ladies are in the pipeline.
Best regards
Niels
