Feel I am being stupid but still not seeing. A nudge either here or to richardellis@hotmail.com would be welcome.

Emailed you.

Thanks all. At last!

I'm still trying to fill the grid. Stuck on SE corner. Can anyone help with 28d, please?
Mark equation missing "multiplied by five" (6)
?i?t?n
Thank you.

Mark is the definition (quite old-fashioned). The answer can be split into three words which when followed by 'multiplied by five' gives an equation.

Thanks, bobbi bunny. I couldn't see the wordplay at all.

Can anyone explain the title please?

Heisenberg, there may be more to it than this, but I think it was through misuse of one-time pads (reusing of pages) by a certain nation that counter-intelligence first became aware of one of the 5. Perhaps there is also a play on the word 'pad', as in someone who walks quietly.

Interesting, thanks.

I wondered if 11a was going to play a part in the endgame through a different interpretation of its third character.

I'm also still finishing off the grid and just can't parse 36ac: YEL-S.

Could be an L or a P - please can someone put me out of my misery?

Thanks
