Struggling with *YR but I think I might have the pattern here. IATA codes for Canadian airports/Airfoce bases

YYR - CFB Goose Bay
YER - Fort Severn Airport
*YR - ??
YTR - CFB Trenton

They are not Canadian airfields; the answer is much more mundane and something everyone knows.

A hint:

Don't assume that everything should be read from left to right.

I did think three letter ID codes for stations, but thats not it...

Are they text code shorthand?

More hints:

There are 12 letters in the grid - less and it would be incomplete, more would not be possible.

When I said "Don't assume that everything should be read from left to right." that leaves 3 possible directions.

To prevent this dragging on too long:

It won't take days, weeks or years to get the answer this question

Got it. But needed your last clue.

The completed grid reads

YYR
YER
HYR
LTR

The missing letters thus being H and L.

Reason: Last letters of months of the year in a grid

Correct although I couldn't read your reason until I quoted you, your turn...

I deliberately concealed it in white in case some other people were trying to work it out. Could be read by highlighting it (a crude anti-spoiler strategy).

Anyway:

Edward Hibbert, Dan Butler, Tom McGowan and Patrick Kerr all portrayed characters who were employed in which fictional workplace?

Wow... two minutes :oops:

Yes, it is indeed the KACL radio studios in Seattle, portrayed in the sitcom Frasier.

Take it away HMS Ark Royal.

To be fair, I am watching it on DVD as I type!

Which actor is proud to be the only man to get into William Shatner's pants and why?

Thank you.

A nice quick one as I'm out the door in an hour or so to work.

What is the next number in the sequence?

21,30,36,??
