[Ripper]

Although letters have to be removed, I just need help with the complete words, so I can give very few letters 28A: Finger in contact with back of the antique handle (6) 20D: Leave doctor and son in Kirkwall's bay (6) VA???? 22 D:PL's attempt to match European smuggler (5) - first letter E or L 25D: Stereo system not quite accurate in the morning (5)
Thanks in advance

20 vamoose

22 Emule - E +Mule
25 NICAM

[Neveracrossword]

28 Steale, handle - Steal, finger, burgle + antiquE

Toorak, it was only 6 - so Vamose, which means the same. (Sorry if yours was just a typo!)

[Ripper]

Thank you Toorak & Neveracrossword.

[Toorak]

Sorry - you are right (i wasn’t sure if the letter count was with or without the removed letter - I see now it is without).

[Neveracrossword]

Ripper, glad I could help.
Toorak, glad you didn't mind my input. (Ripper - the Vamose is from Voe, Kirkwall's bay, with MO, doctor, and S, son, inside).
