Within the definition, yes.

Never heard of Max Boyce! Just found the extra about Mad Dogs, no I'm afraid.

I believe that Mad Dogs pre-dates the interest of the Master in this spot by several years.

Now bedtime, good night.

Pago Pago (NSTU) in American Samoa. A place where waves sometimes crash over the runway.

Open house.

That's the place. Coward set off by sea to spend time writing there, though I believe that he was distracted during the journey and failed to reach Pago Pago. Boyce, in 1991, while expressing the horror of his nation at defeat by Western Samoa, posited that Wales was lucky that only Western rather than the whole of Samoa was involved. Pago Pago is in the American part of Samoa, formerly ruled by the US Navy, and has only recently taken up rugby.

OH declared.

Another one a long way from the S pacific https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1a05b8b49a.jpg

And even further South perhaps than Pago Pago? I once worked alongside a wing like that, though it was in Liberia many years ago.

A C-130 probably civilian,just shutting down,somewhere in the `dark continent`....

It is a C-130 - but if the Dark Continent is Africa you're wrong....

OK ..Far East...?

No - not Far East - here it is in the dry season......

"dry season"

Does it get monsoons ?

Not that I'm aware of - and Hurricanes hardly happen either........................

the local town was nothing until about 1960 onwards................ TBH its still bit of dump but prosperous (relatively)

By "dry season" I therefore assume you mean summer.

Since you mention hurricanes it must be northern hemisphere.

Hurricanes or cyclones or typhoons happen world wide in both hemispheres - but not here - which is south of the equator

New Zealand ?

Or possibly South America.

Possibly Argentina...?

we are indeed in S America - but not the Argentine Republic - it's Ok (-ish) but occasionaly standards slip................
