S Express £1K Crossword 3/2/08 I think Yalta(3d) & Orreries(10a) but the "L" clashes with an "I" in orreries!

3d (5) Y _ I _ _ (A port and resort in SW Russia on the Sea of Azov) I can only find Yalta


10a (8) O _ R _ _ L _ S (Mechanical models of the solar system.....) I can only find Orreries


Or can amaryllis be spelt differently? (1a)

I'm pretty sure you're right about "orreries"; a little Wikipedia research shows that there is a port on the Sea of Azov called Yeysk. I wonder whether that could be transliterated as "Yeisk".
