19d A driver of seventeen(6) -N-I-E
Engine, but why ?

27a Put wager on,fifty-fifty-net return covered quarter (4,4) -E-L/-E-T

Hi Di
27a is Bell tent
Bet - 50/50 = LL + net(backwards)

Does the other clue tie in with the answer to clue 17?

Hi Diana,

I think the answer's BELL TENT and I'm going to have a problem showing this:

BELL TENT [I hope that works!]

As I don't have the advantage of having the crossword in front of me, what is the answer to 17 across or 17 down because your previous answer may be linked?

Best wishes,

Caravaggio

Hi Clev Trev,Thanks...You can call me daft Di now.
Was just looking for something to do with betting and could not for the life of me think where quarter fitted in . Silly me !

Hi Trevor! It would seem that we\'re in accord.

Thanks too Caravaggio, Spot on with bell tent.
You and Trevor got any reasoning for 19d, It must be engine surely. Don't know what 'seventeen' has do do with it though.??

Diana,
Do you have the answer to clue seventeen? What is it?

Hi Harrhy, Answer to 17d is Airlines

Thanks Diana, Thought it might help but it doesn't seem to!
