so it is Electra ... an the -up in the air- bit is that Electra is a a star?

and Electra /in Greek mythology- is seen as a -Fighter- ?

[grandad]

Thats right shannee. Sorry I could not think of a clue for 93 so just gave the answer.

[shannee]

thanks grandad ....

I have a different answer for 98 - a fighter plane and a Lloyd Webber opera (at east i think it is LW!)

[grandad]

Shannee for number 77 I keep thinking of Guillemot.
The cutter could be guillotine which contains gull but then I get stuck. Maybe you coulc have better luck.

The headland is bill. Add a cutter used by men.

[grandad]
