Stamps from Aden

Aden is located on the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula on the Indian Ocean. It consisted on the one hand of the port city of the same name, which became a British crown colony in 1937, and on the other hand of the British protectorate of the same name (divided into East Aden and West Aden), formed by several separate Arab states. From 1937, Aden stamps were issued that were valid in both the crown colony and the protectorate, while stamps from British India were used for this purpose (recognizable by the number 124 in the cancellation). Separate stamps were issued from 1942 for the sultanates of Kathiri and Quaiti in East Aden, but these were also valid in the rest of Aden.

In 1962, the sultanates of Audhali, Lower Aulaqi, Lower Yafa, Fadhli, Lahej, Wahidi Bal Haf and Wahidi Haban, the emirates of Beihan and Dhala, the territories of Dhatina and Upper Aulaqi and the sheikhdom of Aqrabi together formed the South Arabian Federation. At the beginning of 1963, the crown colony of Aden also joined as the State of Aden. The sultanates of Haushabi (1963) and Upper Aulaqi (1964) and the sheikhdoms of Shaib (1963), Alawi and Maflahi (1965) followed later. The remaining states of the Aden Protectorate (the Kathiri, Qu'aiti, Mahra and Upper Yafa sultanates) formed the South Arabia Protectorate in 1963. Stamps were issued for Aden until the spring of 1965, although stamps for the South Arabian Federation had already been issued from the autumn of 1963.

Aden ligt op de zuidkust van het Arabisch schiereiland aan de Indische Oceaan. Het bestond enerzijds uit de gelijknamige havenstad, die in 1937 een Britse kroonkolonie werd, en anderzijds uit het gelijknamig Brits protectoraat (onderverdeeld in Oost-Aden en West-Aden), gevormd door verschillende losse Arabische staten. Vanaf 1937 werden Aden-postzegels uitgegeven die zowel in de kroonkolonie als in het protectoraat geldig waren, terwijl daarvoor postzegels van Brits Indië gebruikt werden (herkenbaar aan het nummer 124 in de afstempeling). Voor de sultanaten Kathiri en Quaiti in Oost-Aden werden vanaf 1942 aparte postzegels uitgegeven, die echter ook geldig waren in de rest van Aden.

In 1962 vormden de sultanaten Audhali, Neder-Aulaqi, Neder-Yafa, Fadhli, Lahej, Wahidi Bal Haf en Wahidi Haban, de emiraten Beihan en Dhala, de territoria Dhatina en Opper-Aulaqi en het sjeikdom Aqrabi samen de Zuid-Arabische Federatie. Begin 1963 trad ook de kroonkolonie Aden toe als de Staat Aden. Later volgden nog de sultanaten Haushabi (1963) en Opper-Aulaqi (1964) en de sjeikdommen Shaib (1963), Alawi en Maflahi (1965). De resterende staten van het Protectoraat Aden (de sultanaten Kathiri, Qu'aiti, Mahra en Opper-Yafa) vormden in 1963 het Protectoraat Zuid-Arabië. Nog tot in het voorjaar van 1965 werden postzegels uitgegeven voor Aden, hoewel al vanaf het najaar van 1963 zegels voor de Zuid-Arabische Federatie waren verschenen.
