CLUELESS 531

Apologies fir the early start.

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.
The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.
Feel free to give an explanation if you think it might help.
Extra kudos will be awarded for humour and penny-drop moments.

Clues should be submitted by 6.00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday 16th June.

This week’s challenge is ...

AIR (3)

Good luck!

Played with G-string, perhaps? (3)

Work by Salieri perhaps, his alternative composition? (3)

Expose IRA deceit (3)

Shave head of hair? Heavens! (3)

Broadcast from the Congo circa 1990 (3)

zAIRe

Rifle type of odd calibre dispatched (3)

Or…
Work by Salieri perhaps. His composition defies odds (3)

[Whetstone @7
Welcome to the fun!]

What makes a plane a flying machine? (3)

Not sure if this works. Air + plane = airplane, and of course air is the medium in which it flies.
