Independence of Former PDRY

A reader whose command of historical trivia is even more obscure than mine reminds me that November 30 was the day when the British hauled down the flag in Aden in 1967. Since November 30 hasn't ended yet I will note it for the historical record. (I am not in any way seeking to encourage the secessionist movements currently active in the former People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. I note this because the central government is clamping down on southern dissidents on account of the anniversary.)
