My father was stationed there several times in the 50s and 60s to receive or to impart training. My mother hated the place because in those days the area never seemed to have sunshine. My mother swore the natives would evacuate or go to bomb shelters if they ever saw the sun. We were never there for long at a time, 30 to 90 days.
Are you talking about here in this area?
