                          I got the 'av' part, but can you explain the remainder of the aviator clue please ?

                            Ah got it - fighter = gladiator. Unhappy = minus glad

                            (I find many of ITs clues incredibly hard. Brilliantly constructed when I see the answers but almost unsolvable - at least to me)

                              Thanks/sorry, ad hoc. It's not that I set out to be impenetrable; often the challenge is to work the source material into something that's coherent and tidy. Thankfully the collective OTF mind always manages to piece it together.

                                I don't think "coherent and tidy" is the way I'd describe that. Maybe "Complex". or even "Tortuous".

                                  Personally I love them - makes it all the better when i (eventually) solve one.
