One baffling me - 16a
Ahead of old ship, one type of camera gives same directions (7)
?C?N?S?
I'm confident of the crossers. Any hints, please?

Another was a rather nice clue

Hmm, the wordplay leads perfectly to a word for cold which I’m sure you’ve seen, but I don’t see how that fits the definition, assuming it’s ‘same directions’. Error or misprint perhaps?

Liked the other clue.

There was discussion about an apparently definition-less clue in today's Guardian

Yes, I saw that one, it didn’t work well for me.
