I will take a substitute for 26a as setter thinks that the clue is not rightly worded 11a OPERATION: working OPE(RATIO)N Open: not a secret Ratio:relation
28a DRY PORTS Boring : DRY. Passages for inland docks : PORTS Type of clue : & Semi lit (Assuming!) 29a STANDS (DD) 25d ILMEN = Lake (in Russia) Miles:M in NILE* Anind is flowing.
I have 2 small doubts - @ veeyares 1. 20ac - under play - is it OK to have player as part of the clue? Too revealing. No? 2. 27ac - jumbo - jum? It should be jam? Kindly clarify. Thanx
