Late again! Sorry. Must be 'old age'. Hope you enjoy today's offering. Hope they're not getting too obscure for enjoyment. Happy solving. J

I set clues just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT + 1) to allow others to have a go.

1. Long drawn out cover-up by the Third Reich (6)

2. Security devices, from Time Machine species, securing building site (7,5)

3. Light helmet collection’s taken out of the lot (6)

4. Mounts stolen weapon to go on stage, possibly (4,7)

5. Legging it could be to run with short quick steps in leading some race (11)

Good afternoon Chris. Yes! I didn't quite know this meaning either, until I looked it up.

I have #2 as well (non-British spelling?)

Re #2 - I've always spelled it the other way, and I found an online reference that suggested that this one was non-British, but Chambers seems quite happy with either.

Yoohoo, Jolan. Only see 2, 3, and 4 right off. Will think about the others while shearing my juniper hedge (ah, what a heavenly scent).

Good afternoon jolan, hope you're well and things have worked out with your woman coming in? Busy this afternoon so will look forward to tangling with them later over a beer as I only see #4 on reading.

Good afternoon jolan
I have only #1 and #4 on first read-through.
That may be it I think :(

......you're all spotting #4, but everything I've considered doesn't work! Oh well, I'll look again later.
