[ventpeg]

67. Doodlebug (V1 flying bomb)

[Dinkypuzzled]

39 - old actress = Gloria _ _ _ _ _ _ _ + g.
67 - think WW2
71 - Steptoe's stalwart.
I'm stuck for 3 too. - 31, 86 and 88.

[ladyalex]

happy to help...hope someone else comes up with a clues for 67 and 39 now
Agree with you for 71, by the way.

31) a 'slang' word for a 'safe' is Peter + a 'vessel' that you might cook/boil water in .... think J M Barrie

86) I answered this a few threads below! The convent is Friary - FRI????ARY insert 'T' (Those less hose) and ILL

88) Think Pirates of the Caribbean and the character played by Johny Depp

[ladyalex]

Thanks, dinkypuzzled, great clues.

31 think slang word for a safe and a cooking vessel
eternally young

86 think of a 5 letter word for someone who might be in a convent
those without stockings
lily
anagram them to give
a kind of butterfly

No idea for 88

[ladyalex]

Thanks , Ventpeg

[Dinkypuzzled]

Thanks, ventpeg
(I was convinced 86 had 'tail' in it.)
- now for the golf course !

[ventpeg]

71) I have got as far as Hercules (the horse) - but cannot understand why is it 'up in the air'?

[ladyalex]

I think there is a 'hercules' constellation
:-))

[ventpeg]

thanks ladyalex :))

Hercules is also the name of the large four engined RAF transport aeroplane.
