Am I right in thinking that the unclued 39 is a word which some would find offensive? I ask merely to avoid using such a word should CheeseCracker have intended something more innocuous.

That’s certainly what I have, Will. I didn’t know the word but see that Chambers notes it as ‘offensive slang’.

39A. I have a word that matches the theme and is far from offensive.

34a UK aircraft makers checking metal fabric (6) Ratine or Batine...can't find a link for Batine although it fits the clue better.....

RAE is in Collins as the Royal Aircraft Establishment which I think is what is intended.

Thank you jono
