I am not going to be able to get today's DT until lunchtime. Can anyone halp me out by giving me the answer to 13 across?
Cruiser, perhaps - not QE2 (3,8,4)
All I've got is
??? ?a?e?t?s ?h?p
I'm assuming the last word is ship.
Any help would be wonderful
Thanks

Hi Vicky. Possibly HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP as opposed to Her(QE2}Majesty's Ship. Best wishes, Caravaggio.

Yes - that makes sense!
Thank you so much for your speedy reply Caravaggio - much appreciated!
Vicky

it's actually HER MAJESTYS SHIP, the 'R' coming from RAINWEAR; I can see the logic of 'HIS' tho !!

I didn't think much of the wordplay, either. I think it's because the QE2 was not in the Royal Navy, hence it was not HMS QE2.
