I wonder if I am the only one who does a bilocation/bivalue markup very soon after basics and looks for nice loops instead of the various alphabet wings. It took me 3 loops, eliminating 8 from r2c3, 3 from r7c8, and 2 from r9c2. Singles after that. Storm_norm's solution is certainly more direct.

I believe <8> is a given in r1c1.

My bad; I didn't check if the puzzle given in the OP matched the thread title. I was writing about the second puzzle (VH11050002) in Helmut's Frequent Flyer Special Edition. The OP presented the third puzzle in that collection. You had me worried there, as I have caught myself ignoring a given now and again. Laughing

The page number at the bottom of the page and the VH1105xxx number near the top right corner of the puzzle are the same. Therefore, printed puzzles will present a consistent picture. BUT ...

Acrobat (Reader) toolbar shows physical pages (1/36) which include the title page. So if you display the pdf document in a web browser or in acrobat, be sure to look at the page and not at the toolbar for the correct page/puzzle number.
