8a "Louisiana local engineers imprisoned by old king"(6) - any ideas ?
12a "Missile in the news(8) - ditto !
13a "Base protagonist in novel on the fair female doing a flit" (4-4) A*T*-H*R* - can't believe I can't get this !!

12a bulletin
13a anti-hero.
Any letters for 8a?

many thanks, mrs trellis. I now see that 13a is an anagram of "on the fair" with the f missing, but sady I have no letters for 8a.

Now I shall have to resort to asking for three down clues, which will help:-
1d "Sharp right taken in coach by that Parisian"(7)
***S***
2d "Hurry to make progress"(4,5) ***E,****G
3d "Go away and bang your drum"(4,2) ***T,**

Having a bad weekend, I normally manage to finish the Saturday DT without too much trouble - senior moments !!
