Thanks minnime.
74 is a word for shabby with H inside, a small boat.
78 is harder to give a clue, not cryptic, not an anagram. It is what it says but I like mine with custard.

That's what I have got. Still not happy about ricochet, but I don't like any of the other suggestions.

The raids referred to were operation Chastise - so I'm wondering whether the final 'e' is counted as silent ? (I have similar doubts about the one in the solution I have for clue 19.

I'm also going with "ricochet" in the absence of better ideas. My French dictionary shows "faire des ricochets" meaning "to skim stones" which matches the meaning of to play "ducks and drakes". But then I would have expected it to be "ricochets" (9 letters)
