bunty,
Is there a red Navy squadron?
I think down clues have to be entered in a different than normal way.
Could be anagram, could be reverse.
I have SNA?L at the bottom of 8th column. No down answer has yet emerged to fit that.
Also Col. 12, I have A?man. I have no idea which down clue would fit there.
Col. 11 I have ?ing and Col. 13 I have ?ERS.
Also the very last down clue has a 8-letter answer. It will not fit anywhere without some adjustment.
Some more across answers may help but right now stymied.
BTW, What is the reference to Waverley? Also is there a word for a crowd of yokels?
