Is there a misprint in 11 down?
"Disturbance in field scattered old fragments in two minutes (8,5)"
The answer must be MAGNETIC STORM, but for the wordplay to work that requires "scattered" to be "scattering". Anagram of scattering+o inside m--m. Or am I missing something?

I can see tic + moment + rags
Sorry scorpiojo, you've lost me. Can you explain further please?
I can only see


Scatter + O (old) + Ing (field) + MM (two moments)

Otherwise I am as perplexed as you are.

Thanks. But the clue works perfectly with fragments as the anagram indicator if it reads as:
"Disturbance in field scattering old fragments in two minutes (8,5)"
I think I'll put it down as a rare error
I think you're right.
Question Author
Thanks. I was surprised no one has commented on the clue all day
That happens a lot, though to be fair I didn't query it either but had put a big question mark beside it.
Steve, I was thinking tic + moment = 2 minutes
Rags = old fragments

Apologies :(
Cheers scorpiojo and others - I too think Keepatit is right, it's an error. Thought it was just me!
