I'm having a bit of difficulty with some answers that won't come to me!!

46a - a short distance in the wind: a-o-t
45a - Company must end recycling of office papers: d-c---n-s

I would really appreciate some help. Thank you

@anng,
afoot - a short distance (foot) - straight clue ' in the wind'

documents - co must end : anagram indicated by recycling - straight clue 'office papers'

@Dutchy,
Have to go with oo-er here. A Short distance (foot) = in the wind (as in "something's afoot Watson!" ).

Happy New Year everyone!

@Dutchy,
well 'loft' isnt a short distance and 'in the wind' is not necessarily aloft whereas

a foot is 'a short distance' and colloquially 'in the wind'

go ask lmur
