We've got a mission for you in

Kilburn White Horse

Belligerent boffin Dr Gee-Gee Steed has always had a nagging fear of horses. Every time he trots past the Kilburn White Horse, he gets the jitters and gallops away. But now, he has a devious plan to alleviate his fears by staining the Horse's white limestone chips dark green! This will render the stunning stallion invisible to anyone passing by. Local residents are in uproar and have asked Spy HQ to bring in the cavalry… YOU!! Can you solve the clues that will save the day and keep the Horse from disappearing?
