One left, 19d: Gathering of the air at the centre of lying (3-2). I have F_Y-?N .... which should make it very easy, but just can't get a handle on this clue (and had trouble with a few in this puzzle!) Help, please.

Thanks all for this. Thought it must be FLY-IN ... but what does it mean - some kind of gathering of aviation enthusiasts??

Same as a love-in i suppose - everyone just gets together and does it.
(Flies that is.)

Thanks Mamyalynne - and also the neat correction at the end. But did you mean to say to Shoota '... with that weapon pointed at YOU . . ' ?
