28. park (hidden in clue) ??
^^^ That's a possibility, Sam, if Maggie has correctly typed the clue.

However the name of the Irish Transport Company is actually Córas Iompair (Éireann), which introduces an intrusive 'i' into things.
55 Vic Burgoyne
Please note I don't know if Vic Burgoyne is correct, but Elvis Costello's first wife was a "Burgoyne", and if you take "curvy boeing" and remove the letters of "Burgoyne" you are left with "Vic"
