Has anyone started today's Inquisitor? If you have, can you get me started off by helping with 1a? They're used to pick retired soldiers, strong and athletic. There is a one letter misprint in the definition and the length of grid entry is given as 7 (but may not be)[ I think living in Italy for a while has addled my brain (too much wine)]

It might be rostra (used to peck?)

Thank you tracker pup.

Any help with 30D please?
What does 'copper' indicate?

Copper is AS , a Roman copper coin.

Thanks kobnut - that was driving me mad!

I have at last finished this one but can't parse 18a or 19d if anyone can help please

QESUE Way behind you tho' those two are SABRA is Israeli (reverse) and 19d is S AIR S no extra letter sairs=cuts

Can you help me by checking my misprints from 1d - I have SPORMONCASI ..... something wrong in that lot.

Son, 1D is a normal six letter entry with no spaces. The corrected misprint gives S.

Nelson (if that was meant for me ) - I had that - it is the run of letters after the S I was worried about
