Can you please help with hints for my final 3 questions.
76.Elderly, true blue officer who kept a low profile. (7-5)
82.Scottish musician and singer looked very small beside the river.(5-3)
97.Hargreaves made this crane fly, so it's said.(8-5)
Thank you

82 the answer is a scottish singer....first name a very annoying insect, the second the name of a river

82 = Midge Ure

76 - Army rank, like Sanders, with a word for an airship gives the name of a character created by David Low

83 - Sang with Ultravox

97 - An invention from the Industrial Revolution, second word is a girl's name as in Agutter, Bond, Wren!!

Hope these help
