Petrol Stations
​
Shell's District Sales Manager for South Arabia and Yemen 1964-67 was David Tomlinson. David's boss was partner with Aden Airways hostess Chrissy Chambers.
The Shell Petrol Station next to the Central Wholesale Produce Markets in Khormaksar was termed by Shell, a 'Series E Type 4 Service Station', which was the basic style seen in Africa. However, the petrol stations built in Aden and Lahej were a little more up-market than their African counterparts, and were modelled on Shell Stations in California, a design favoured by the Sultan of Lahej, whose opinion influenced Shell.
Two British Shell employees, Graham McGlashan and Ahmed Khan (an Indo-Arab) were killed in the 1966 terrorist bombing of Aden Airways DC3 VR-AAN. Graham McGlashan was buried in Aden.
