16a. 'Person becoming a famous dolphin' _L_P_E_
Presumably 'FLIPPER', but why?

[Pantheon]

I think that this cryptic clue is 'playing on' the two of the meanings of FLIPPER

diver's footwear / water animal's limb

and, of course that Flipper is the iconic dolphin

[Otleybard]

Thanks, Pantheon, that's all I could think of, but if so, it's hardly up to the RT's usual standard, is it?

perhaps, kayakamina can help?
