Anyone else finding this a tricky one to get into? Would appreciate a kick-start with 2d Cockney's aspiration, helping boss make campaign plans (9,8). Thanks in advance

Thanks - I would never have got there unaided!
the first word is definitely correct - 'ope + ration - but there might be other possibilities for the second word
Operation overlord ?
Without any placed letters Sedge's answer seems just as valid, in fact more so as an overlord is more of a boss than just a "board man".
43 A. Carpet's too fine to smother this on reflection? (8) ??o?s???
19 A. Impatience after Liverpool player,maybe,departs for Town(8)
???d?t??
Thanks.
neveracrossword, this one's been answered - you'd do better to start a fresh thread if you have new questions on the same crossword.
Footstep
Redditch
19a RED D ITCH
Thanks for those, mike - I was trying to work 'red' in somehow to 19 A, but got nowhere.
Well I am pretty sure it is
operation overlord
but do not understand the cockney aspiration bit
(H)Ope-ration Overlord - Cockney drops the 'H' from his 'hope', or aspiration
