[May54]

Still trying to complete last week's crossword before tackling the new Hogmanay one! Any help would be very welcome. 50a Where flight was for 49 but not yet pig unfortunately (4,6) The answers I have for 49 are Bairn and Bayards. The letters I have are ??T?? ?Y?T. Also 93a In nappy check for a disease (9) ??S???P?R. Thanks in advance

93 Di stem (a)per

[Slide-Rule]

distemper stem in diper

[scorpiojo]

You've said (4,6) but given (5,4)?

[Slide-Rule]

Yes scorpiojo is correct in wordplay

[May54]

Thanks scorpiojo and Slide-Rule for your quick answers. Sorry scorpiojo, my mistake for the letters for 50a - they should indeed be (4,6) ??T? ??Y?T

[Slide-Rule]

That's still only 4,5

[scorpiojo]

May, that's 4,6 then 4,5 :)

[May54]

Sorry scorpiojo it looks like the paper has printed the number of letters wrong! The clue does read as 4,6 but the grid only has 9 spaces - so maybe the answer is 4,5?

[scorpiojo]

Into Egypt - anagram of not yet pig

[Slide-Rule]

Into Egypt???

[May54]

Thanks again to you both for your help - I did think of looking for an anagram but, of course, I was working with 10 letters instead of 9!

[scorpiojo]

Me too :)
