Cryptic v2.0

[sabredog]

Thank you,BSAA1947.
Another easy one;

an AIRFIELD/AIRPORT.

The Grocer's line, or perhaps noise.

[NutherA2]

London Heathrow?

[sabredog]

NutherA2 is correct.
YHC.

[NutherA2]

Thanks F86D.................

Aircraft

To mis-quote Paul H, David E, Adam C & Lawrence M “And I can see those fighter planes bullet the blue sky”

[Tankertrashnav]

U2 perhaps?

[NutherA2]

Dragon Lady it is, YHC

[Tankertrashnav]

Thanks

Aircraft - Day/night fighter more easily seen at night?

[sabredog]

Gloster Meteor?

[Tankertrashnav]

Wasn't the one I was thinking of, although it does fit. Have another try.

Prop, not jet, as a clue.

[NutherA2]

Lockheed P38M Lightning?

[Tankertrashnav]

Oh blimey - there are loads that seem to fit! Give it one more try and I'll tell you, whilst admitting that both Meteor and Lightning fitted the bill.

UK - single engined - not only a fighter.

[NutherA2]

Fairey Firefly?

[Tankertrashnav]

Phew - well done.

If I get another go I'll try and make it less ambiguous next time!

Over to you

[NutherA2]

Thanks TT, I'm off to the pub(Whey Pat) for some R&R, Open House again.

[Tankertrashnav]

Open house has been declared - someone have a go.

[NutherA2]

I found this clue in one of today's more erudite crosswords, hope I'm not in breach of copyright!

Aircraft

Large stinger? Drunk another, first polished off

[evansb]

An Antonov ?

[NutherA2]

Sorry no, this one is a British aircraft. If you do the Observer AZED, according to Inspector Morse the best crossword in the world, I stole this from today's Clue 20 Down.

[Tankertrashnav]

Think that's a Hornet?

If so glad you said it was a British aircraft - the younger generation may only be aware of the F18 of the same name.

[NutherA2]

Ah..........de Havilland........well done TT, YHC.

Back to yesterday's AZED, I'm still stuck on 18 & 22 Across and 12, 15 & 23 Down.
