Tricky this week, I thought.

One left: 4d

Support high-flyer's stage (6)
?O?S?E?

I can find a sort of support, both as a noun (as you might find in a bed) and a verb, but can't see how the "high-flyer" fits in. I thought maybe it might be a name for the stage that a trapeze artist takes off from, but Chambers doesn't agree.

(I did wonder about LOBSTER, as in Arthur Daley's expression "The world is your lobster"!)

is it 7, chris..

booster - as in rockets etc ?

Can't count, marty - yes it is. Thanks, I missed the possible rocket connection.

No worries chris - I just called in looking for clueless, who's in the chair today ?

ixion - reliable; he'll probably post early afternoon.

I had the same as you for 4d Chrise at first but couldn't make it work - didn't see the rocket connection either. On the aeronautical theme I'm stuck on my last one 19d...I have ?O?I?. Any clues please (not the answer)? Thanks.

The defn is undercarriage - alternative name for a slough + a couple of other letters - think train undercarriage

Thanks Chrisg. I've just got it. I didn't look at it yesterday as we took advantage of the fine weather and had a day out to the Gower.

You are welcome. We are coming over to Wales for a few days - I might pop down to the Gower and take a look around

I had finished except for 13 down. At last the penny dropped. Latin again !! Mags.
