Cryptic v2.0

[Lightning Mate]

Clear as mud

OK, Ill depart the fix.

Staged through Masirah once in a Javelin; best crayfish lunch I've ever had. OH if okayed.

[Herod]

That's it again. Ma's Ira H. The Officer's Mess there had a door marked "TV Room". Anyone walking through it, to be met by a vista of desert, was good for a round of drinks.

[Neptunus Rex]

I had my 23rd Birthday Party in Masirah, with two ladies present!

[Herod]

One up on me; I had my 21st at Sharjah. No ladies there, but we reckoned we drank all the champagne within about a 200 mile radius.

Manufacturer & Aircraft Type:

Blown up by dynamiters, this was not a jet, but was certainly the first of the jumbos

You couldn't cope with one, let alone two.

In any case, you went from 18 to 48.

LM, if this one is a bit cryptic, one of the big-chopper rotary people from Odiham(?) might see the solution.

Good afternoon Mr. A Cat.

Sorry, but I have been busy solving Silhouette Challenge, where I live for most of the time.

A certian wind blows up, so this might well be the Chinook.

[Herod]

Big Helicopters many years ago (Wessex '67-'70), but it's a Martinsyde Elephant. OH if correct

[Lightning Mate]

Looks like a good call.

I'm no good at this stuff, so back to SC.

I'll post a congrats card when the rest of you get to 1000 posts, and a biggie when you hit 10,000.

[NutherA2]

Writing my reply to LM coincided with Herod, who is of course correct. Well done H, YHC

[Herod]

"Chopped eels above bitumen" Airfield (and easy).

[Lightning Mate]

Never in the history of Prune challenges have so many OHs been offered by so many people.

I'm tempted...........

edit: I NB Herod has withdrawn the OH - excellent.

[Herod]

Come on, LM. You must have been to the Far East.

[Lightning Mate]

Selatar?...

[Herod]

Yep. My apologies if it was a bad clue. I thought it was spelt Seletar, which gave the chopped eels. YHC.

[Lightning Mate]

I thought it was spelt Seletar

Apologies - you are correct.

OK then - against my better judgement.

Aeroplane....

I am unable to do this three times in the air

[Neptunus Rex]

Herod,

You are correct, it is Seletar; LM can be a dunce at times. Ten Kilo-Posts in less than three years, is surely a sign of a misspent (or under-employed) middle age.

No answer Your Honour, except to say.................well you guess.

Must be your bedtime you old fart!!!!!
