Thank you all for your very helpful answers.

[glasman]

You get a Best Answer for answers that have already been given. LOL.

[dannyk13]

Sorry Glasman but I do not award them.If it bothers you, you can ask Bryant to swap them.

[glasman]

No, doesn't bother me. Just seems amusing to me.

[bryand]

Sorry glasman I give the 'Best Answer' to the most complete answer, Jools Two was a very close second. Being a novice at Cryptic crosswords, particularly in the Telegraph, explanations (an analysis) of the answer is
also valued. JHope this helps.

27a- I think the clue said "flipping" not "flying" if anyone is trying to parse it

[JoolsTwo]

No Factor it was 'Flying'. Just out of interest Byrand, the only reason I only gave 4 of your 5 answers is because Frugalfred had already answered 10a so not much point in giving it again. :-)

[factor-fiction]

Okay, thanks Jools. I don't have the paper but a few minutes ago someone posted the same clue except it sad 'flipping' not 'flying'.

[Mamyalynne]

27a) A Warrior going round is flipping rough (8) on my copy ?

[Lie-in King]

Apologies Jools, but the clue reads "A warrior going round is flipping rough"

[JoolsTwo]

Sorry, I was looking at 1a. I thought that was the clue factor was referring to. Need to read posts more carefully. Apologies Factor.

[factor-fiction]

Thanks. All cleared up now.
