I think 15A answer is boat. this fits with 7 other solutions..fish, carpets, doctors,solo, buttress,saucer and high , all of which have the word flying in common. (British Air Transport with O for oil.)
Hi. I wondered about "boat" but couldn't see what "F.T." had to do with anything. I don't think the new version of the Oldie crossword is anything like as good as the previous one; my wife and i were discussing whether we should even bother in future.
15a Indeed, what does " FT on" got to do with rest of clue if answer is "boat"? I had thought of "font" - anagram? You could have a flying font! But again what has rest of clue got to do with "font"?
I think that BA is the airline, O is the source of oil and T completes boat. The F combines with Lying in 25a to make flying the 6 letter word that can be combined with the 8 linked clues, well that's my interpretation !
25a is buttress
