[dave1948]

He was wanted for a pilot for Cwm Rhonnda (7)

[Mamyalynne]

3 Jehovah

[dave1948]

Thank mamyalynne.

I found Jehovah (after yo) but am unsure why ?

[dxhound2003]

Guide me O thou great Jehovah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cwm_Rhondda

[Mamyalynne]

Alt name for Cwm Rhondda is 'Guide me oh thy great Jehovah'

[ladyalex]

I thought that, but when I looked it up it said
Guide me oh, thou great redeemer...
Sure you're right, though.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes that is another variant too

[dave1948]

Thank you both

Any ideas on 6d and 4d ????

[ladyalex]

:-)) Mamya.

No joy for me on the others yet...

[Mamyalynne]

Stumpers those two

[ladyalex]

6d packet would fit the clue, but sadly not any of your letters

[Mamyalynne]

I want Nuncio for 6d (messenger) but cannot justify it

[slaney]

4d Not sure, but possibly ESTER ( variant spelling of Esther - biblical queen)??
Can't get the book bit of the wordplay though.

[ladyalex]

Esther is a book in the bible

[dave1948]

one other which might help
10a Existence of bird sounds totally absorbing (6)
??T???

4th letter of 4d is 1st of 10a
5th letter of 6d is 4th of 6d

I give up |

[slaney]

I was taking the E(ste)R bit as the queen in the wordplay instead of the whole
word - you could be right ladyalex - still not keen on the variant spelling though!

[ladyalex]

10a was given as Entity earlier on this site.

[ladyalex]

I think it's starting to look like Ester and Nuncio, but without the crossword it's so hard to tell.

[Mamyalynne]

Also toyed with 'Subito' but again hard to justify
