Cryptic clue

Post by **Tiger 1** » Sat May 09, 2020 8:17 pm

I'm thinking cutter as a small single mast boat built for speed.. Come about... meaning turning the boat back.?

Just got to tie it in with a base if my thinking is right?.

Was a cutter - Saw , Axe as in Shaw AFB but the h doesn't fit

Wondering if this is a more traditional cryptic clue where the first part surrounds the cutter .....saw.. , ....axe...etc

The back keyword suggests a word backwords

(I thought Cutter was a barber and direct was point hence barbers point)

Getting rather warm there in your thinking.

Easy one..

"This base has its ups and downs…."

Otis ?

Re the other clue

A way back can be St or Rd hence Ts or Dr

All I could think of was Stannah.

Otis has got to be right.

Re my clue:- partly correct in your thinking, but don't get side-tracked from your previous.

Tinker ? For the peddlar although peddlar vs peddler

Still struggling with the cutters

McClellan has a loose connection as does McConnell?

Neither is correct.

None correct so far… but Raleigh Durham - half of this answer has a connection...

Opa locka, Fl

What’s the LGBT connection with Vic Pendleton?

None AFAIK, but I'm assuming Camp was that part of he clue.
