    Thks for help
    The A that I have which could be incorrect came from
    "Might old Russian move at a smart pace towards the sky" (4) T?A?
    I have TSAR for that, thinking anagram from STAR


    I'm wrong.
    Got it !! It's TROT (Trotsky)
    Gorgonzola is correct. Thks again
    Now just one left
    "RETURN INSTRUMENT TO NEIGHBOUR" (4) ???T

    Could this be ABUT? Neighbour being "abut" and "TUBA" being instrument??
