During 1966 / 1967 I was stationed in Aden and had cause to go up to Habilayn on the Yemen border. I came across a camel spider one evening in the arms store where I was working. I killed it and then told one of our medics who disected them for a hobby. When he saw the state of the spider he said it was no good, but let him know when the other one showed up. He told me that they go around in twos or threes. A very sobering thought. The very next day in the same building a spider ran over my mates foot. I cannot repeat what he said. After some grief we did with the aid of the medic catch this one. The are fast, strong and can jump like hell!!!
No further spiders were found in our building but the same week anotherpair was found in the serjeant's mess tent. They are not the sort of creature that anyone would want to share a room with. Once seen, definately not forgotten.
