HC Deb 17 November 1948 vol 458 c47W
88. Lieutenant-Commander Hutchison

asked the Postmaster-General how long mails take to reach Aden from the United Kingdom, and vice versa, by surface route and by air, respectively.

Mr. Hobson

The time between despatch and delivery is about 14–18 days by surface, and about four days by air, in each case in each direction. In arriving at a total transit time, allowance must be made for the interval between posting and despatch.
