26 D. Company of birds heads for colourful hero in Tracy movie (5)
c???m
9 D. Clothe the dead bore,of course providing a great jumper (6)
????a?

The preamble says, 'All clues require the removal of one letter prior to solving, often adversely affecting the sense.'
Thanks for any help.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks - what a lovely word!

[Neveracrossword]

I think I've got the other one, 9D, now - Pallah.

[Neveracrossword]

I now have only a couple to get.
15 D. Turned up with declaration:is not from Spenser (6) ???ced
13 A. Perhaps kind sort initially invests current Scottish charges (5) la??s
NB. The preamble refers to all clues 'require the removal of one letter...', more detail in my first post.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Is it synced, tuned up?

[Neveracrossword]

Negomi - thanks, I think you're right. (An across clue lead me to think there was a 'y' in 15 D, but I wasn't sure of that. I am now.)

[Neveracrossword]

I think 13 A is 'laids'.

[cruciverbali]

Yes, the extra letter is N:

kid = lad

sort initially = s

current = i

Laid (Scots) = Load

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, cruciverbali - that was my reasoning.
