27A Acronym for a method of take-off assisted by jet fuel _A_O.
8A A bank meeting resistance? Not often. I had R_R_L_ and therefore assume it's rarely but struggling to follow the cryptic clue. Reasoning would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your prompt and helpful responses.
You're clearly more alert than I am on this sunny afternoon!
I had thought of 'JATO' but thought I might just be wishing that to be right so that particular puzzle was 'done'.
As for 'rarely' I was hypnotised by 'a bank' as in the noun for a financial institution and ignored the verb meanings. Now that puzzle's resolved too I can get on with some jobs - or perhaps just sit with a glass of wine actually reading the papers with sport on radio/TV in the background!
Happy days everyone.
