@frankieboy11,
Like fresco working in the dark not knowing the number of letters, but would suggest PICTORIAL for 44a(anagram of TROPICAL and I {island leader}).

Good Luck

@frankieboy11,
Put us out of our misery by giving us the number of letters (including any you may have) for 40a.

@PaddyH,
I've speculated that it's possibly SORTIE if "SE Open" (golf) is a well established term.
