Iq 1824

I cannot parse this clue.

 

One clue remains.

31d. Place a submachine-gun over big revolvers(6)

The answer is longer than grid entry.

The answer could be Planets with E removed for grid entry. But cannot parse.

Also tried to find which 12 cells would depict the alternative name of RB. I think the centre blocked cell has to be used but them some entries become non-words.

Thanks Toorak.

Hankir, if you use the centre square, you end up with a nice picture. I don't have my copy with me, but when I checked yoesterday, all the words I ahd were real ones.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC. I will try again.

The grid becomes a hybrid of bars and blocks, hankir - new words fall between the blocks, they don't cross them.

Thanks ProfessorM.

After I blacked out the cells, I see the real words.
