Is there a mistake in respect of 11a - the poker hand? Shouldn't it be straight flush? Also, has anyone please got the answer to 30d - controlled firing of a rocket's engine to produce thrust?
Many thanks in advance.

30d Could be - Burn - You don't say how many letters.
I haven't got the paper in front of me but from memory it was a run of cards in different suits. To be a straight flush they would all have to be in the same suit
Just found the paper and checked the clue - it said a run of five cards in any suit. That is slightly ambiguous, you could think it meant they could be in spades or hearts........Perhaps they should have used the word 'different'.
Question Author
Burn fits, thank you. I am just going to assume that the paper has made a mistake, and put straight without the flush. I can't see how the letters I have could spell anything else. Thanks to you both.
straight and burn correct
