shoelaces - cords simple really (but not to me!)
Also warplane seems correct.

Brill Trevor - thank you.

You just beat me to it - double definition. Someone who runs and the name of a newspaper.

When you're on this site you need to first say the name of the paper and the no. of crossword, it's no good to all of us if we don't have it in front of us, we just can't tell you the answer...
