I have the answers to the last two clues but cannot parse them :

15 Down - Transcend. Clue : Trump controlled South Carolina in move. (I understand the answer means move and that South Carolina is obviously SC but the rest...?)
23 Across - Unscramble. Clue : Decode signal to stop pilots dashing for planes in wartime. (I understand the answer is "Decode Signal" but cannot parse it!)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I think the definition is trump= transcend.
Move could be trend?
23 The order to dash for the planes is 'Scramble!' hence to stop that is 'Un'
isn't 23 just a double definition?
Transcend - 'ran (controlled) SC' (in) 't-end' (t-rump)

Unscramble - don't scramble; dash for planes
Pilots "scrambled" dashed to their planes when advised the enemy was around. Therefore to stop that= unscrambled
Crossed posts there, Mamyalynne. You explained it better
Yes, I didn't think mine was right for transcend as it didn't account for the AN
Transcend- ran(controlled)& sc(South Carolina)inside tend (move)
Unscramble - un(stop) scramble (signal to pilots in wartime)
Yes, ignore my nonsense please, haven't been up long :-)
L-i k. it would have been a good parse for a crossword in the Yorkshire Post ( T'rump)
At least I had the right definition!
Well done danny

Frankly I'm so hot I can barely think straight :-(

Apologies to tripod1 for the extra traffic :-)
Thanks FF.
