    Having just come in on this one I have looked through responses and I am unclear how far we are towards solving. Do I assume that A is Arrow and the others link to that.

        And I was thinking it might have been to do with the Noise Abatement Society (Deep Purple - just up anton's street)

        I was even looking at Geoffrey Shakerley who died recently, who was married to Lady Elizabeth Anson, the Queen's cousin and party bash organiser <sigh>

                    Not been able to focus in again on this puzzle today. But I did have pause to wonder if cross-bow operatives are in fact archers. As you say, a minor detail though, compared with Flay's remarkable persistence in getting to the solution!
                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
