Can anyone explain why the answer to 11ac. 'For small boy not in gear, excessive to raise wheels' is 'Putto'?

OTT = Over the top
UP = raise wheels
PUTTO = naked baby in works of art

Actually, I'm not convinced about the UP element of that. Anyone got a better idea?

Brilliant - thank you very much

In flying the pilot makes the order to co-pilot 'undercarriage(wheels)UP'

I was given this in an earlier thread but I must say that I wasn't happy. Not that I doubted it, I just thought it was a bad clue. I'd have been disappointed if Jolans came up with that in the excellent 5 at 5.

I think the setter is using the word wheels to indicate that ott and up should be reversed. Wheel can mean to turn round.

Whatever! Its still a naff clue.
