Do you remember Bunthorne? This was child's play in comparison. I agree with your appraisal of the number of questions about Biggles. Unfortunately this meant that you could virtually solve the whole puzzle by looking at these forums.

One reason that there are so many clues featured here is that I have flu. I have flu, therefore I am in bed. I am in bed, I have time on my hands. I can afford the time to try to solve the prize crossword. I can't do the crossword, therefore I seek help. I have more time to seek more help and so I do. Added to this is that for me this was a particularly enjoyable crossword. The problems I could solve were very rewarding. I needed help and I got it. A good way to recover from flu. Still got it mind. And still have 2 clues to go on the crossword.
