And another...

I heard it's a little more than a mile behind where it all stagnates...

I'll unravel a bit...

You need to work out 'where it all stagnates' (and keep it brief!),

Then put that in front of 'a little more than a mile', to come up with the second part of the answer. The whole thing sounds like an airfield.

The two attempts above were not barking up the right tree...

Good luck!

Well done Captain Dart!

(Stagnation occurs at the Leading Edge, and 2K is a little more than a mile).

Captain Dart has control.

Sorry for the delay folks, I am Antipodean and I PPRuNE at different hours to those in Europe and UK. Due to a busy flying roster coming up I'll throw my turn open to the field as I've already had a go:

I thought this would go quickly... But it hasn't, so...

I can add something by saying that 'they' are ladies, a knowledge of British culture will take you through the first two elements of the clue, and the final element uses an alternative and shorter spelling of the word concerned...

Well, more hours have passed without interest, so either there's something people don't like about this challenge or the predictions of early mortality for this thread are coming true...

A busy day ahead so let's make it...
