Aden conflict: Wounded troops interview / General Harington interview; ** DIGITISED VERSION OF FS080564009 **SAUDI ARABIA: Thumair (?):EXTLieutenant General Sir Charles Harington standing with others and talking with reporter (not heard)INTLieutenant General Sir Charles Harington interview SOTQ: How many rebels are the British troops facing?- It is very difficult to give you a precise number, because the estimates vary, but I would say between 500 and 800Q: Can you prevent more coming in at any time?- We can never prevent it, because there is fairly free movement over the frontier and the majority of the men taking part are tribesmen of the area in which they live, who have got arms from the Yemen and have brought them back.Q: You have got troop carrying helicopters, wouldn't it have been a lot easier for the troops to go in that way?- It would have been a lot easier but the danger would have been employed in daylight and with the small arms at the enemy possess there would undoubtedly have been very heavy casualties to the aircraft and to the men in them.TX 8.5.64 / 5.55pmNEG 16mm ITN (Dhillon) 57sec 37ft38011 / 396B / 2 / 64
