Enclosure in Air Ministry Covering letter, dated 2nd December, 1935.
Letter from the Air Ministry to the Colonial Office, No. S.-36111 /S.-6,
DATED THE 2nd DECEMBER 1935.
I am commanded by the Air Council to acquaint you, for the informa
tion of Mr. Secretary Thomas, that on December 11th, 1935, Air Commodore
E. L. Gossage, D.S.O., M.C., will relieve Air Commodore C. F. A. Portal,
D.S.O., M.C.. at present in command of the British Forces at Aden, until
such time as the existing emergency has passed.
I am to explain that it had been the Council’s intention that Group
Captain W. A. McClaughry, D.S.O., M.C., D.F.C., should relieve Air
Commodore Portal, and an announcement to this effect has already appeared
in the press. The Council are, however, now of the opinion that the stra
tegical importance of Aden during the present unsettled conditions makes
it very desirable that a more senior Commander should assume responsibility
at any rate until there is a material improvement in the international situa
lion.
Copies of this letter have been addressed to the War Office and India
Office.
