sjs Clue 60 I dont think that I am upsetting anybody if I say that the first word of the answer looks like "Jigsaw " but it does seem a bit too straightforward ! It is the second word that is troubling me. It could end in several different ways. Any ideas please

Please could I have a clue for 57 - After ill-feeling, time for a tricky game, and possibly for 55 as well? Thanks.

Sjs: The airman is not in a plane but running along the ground with something on the end of a string. When the wind lifts the object, usually paper, he is - your answer.

Clue 60 -
Was GI Joe the first to return = reverse of the letters

WAS GI J = JIGSAW

Baffling = PUZZLING

Answer = Jigsaw Puzzling ..... each PIECE is fitted into the jigsaw puzzzle i.e piecework

Clue 18
jargon for what advertisers do to test a product .....
Airman is doing = Flying
A
Kite

Clue 21
French for 21 = vingt et un (normally hyphenated, butthe clue does not indicate this)!! {Note the clue number is also 21}

Clue 40
On one hand or the other ... (makes it) = Handy
Comic = Dandy

Clue 57
After ill feeling = Pique
Time = T

Clue 87 To get five in a row former student got in the band.
(This is a game where you have to get 5 in a row)
Band = GANG
former student = OB (Old Boy)

OB got into GANG .... so put the letters OB into the word GANG for this game

Good luck
