drive?
Are the clue numbers correct, skyplus?
I wondered that, scorpiojo, since 17d begins with D so 17a should already have the D showing
Wondered that myself Jo. Pretty certain f awn is correct.
F-awn must be right though
Agreed

DRIVE
O
W
N
On 17a, I got DRIVE from the 'ordering derv about one' part of the clue but I'm not sure I can see how the rest of the clue fits in. Where is the definition- is it the Rush or 'for package tour Day'?

Chambers
down2 noun soft fine feathers or hair.
ETYMOLOGY: 14c: from Norse dunn.
?
Baldric.I can see that down could be a fine beard, but light yellowish brown?
DOWN doesn't follow from the clue though Baldric whereas F AWN does
Let's try it another way:
Skyplus- please can you let us know where the D came from in your 17d clue?

Where does the 'D' come from?
Skyplus may be on stand-by at the moment.
We may have to wait until he/she returns unless anyone has the paper or can find an online version of this crossword
