11d...clue: Most aged (6) ?L?E?T
I've got 'Oldest' but 'Eldest' also fits.

Views anyone?

both eldest and oldest refer to the greatest in age. The crucial difference, however, lies in the fact that eldest can only be used for related persons, while oldest can be used for any person, place or thing in a group of related or unrelated elements.

Thanks jazzgirl...the clue as usual with the D.R. is very vague.
