I'm stuck on last 3 clues: Birds that come after eyes, we're told [4]: -A-S
Discover swimming aid on dolphin's head [4]: -I-D
Old typewriter company that launched the Empire in 1898 [5]: ----5 [all I can find for this is Olivetti which is too long!]
Can anyone help me please?

This doesn't fit though

[Captain2]

Presumably Q1 and Q2 cross with Q3 (which is why you don't have any letters in Q3?
Do you have any letters placed now after Q1 and Q2 have been answered?

[fiction-factory]

Adler confirmed here- Adler Empire

Thank you all so much for your answers - I should have got the first two if I had thought hard enough. Couldn't find Adler though. Thanks again for your help - much appreciated.

Still intrigued as to how you're down to the 'last three clues' and one doesn't have a letter placed - and doesn't look like the other two cross with it.

Captain2 - 2 separate crosswords - 2 from 1 and 1 from the other. I didn't specify which crossword I was doing! Hope this puts you out of your misery!!!
