Ok the penny has dropped. Once more I found the clue in Chambers so that’s no. 69 solved. Many thanks to both lady bee and nonplussed.

haremai, can I suggest you get a copy of Bradford's crossword solver. That might have solved your 'plain' problem. It's available in both paperback and kindle versions.

43. Board doesn't refer to ship but a game and 'away' suggests anagram of one of the words.

44. Anagram involved.

94. Google synonyms for 'newcomer'

46. Old name for soldier & a gun (1st WW) + last 3 letters for go off (food).
47. Ist 3 letters of 1st word + 1st letter 2nd word + a type of exam and look up in dictionary. Hard to give a "clue" to this question.
52. Song about a milkman - forget James.
59. Ist 3 letters normal word for chap. Last 4 a passenger carrying vehicle only seen in certain high populated areas. Look up dictionary unusual word.
