I keep being logged off. sorry.
The last 3 letters of 18d = the secretion of an insect of the same name.

Thanks Jazzgirl. Would never have got the drilling clue. Completely on wrong track. All done now.

Still racking my brains over 21 ac, though I have all the alternate letters. Also the Scottish town at 6 d.
Where is Pipesmoker when I need him ?!
Mags.

21 is the name of a battle - Duke of Marlborough, I think.

6d (this may not help!) Lovely folk song about its "water".

Thanks Chrise for the prompt reply. I can only associate `Blenheim

I've checked - it was Marlborough. He succeeded in more than one battle!

The "main route" is a motorway.

2nd attempt -first disappeared! Thank you Chrise for the prompt reply. I can only associate Blenheim with the Duke of M. I`ll look him up. I`ve thought of battles from the Greeks, through civil and both world wars!
I don`t know the folk song. Only `Anna` seems to fit but I can`t find a town ! Mags,

Got the battle ! I thought of that word but told myself that isn`t a battle - it`s a Pharoah ! Mags.
