After solving the 2's with a skyscraper there is an exocet from cells 169r23c1 to r1c45:
(never looked for them for many years)

I am not familiar with David's notation, but
1r23c1 forces either 1r5c6 or 1r5c9, both imply 1r1c45,
6r23c1 forces either 6r5c6 or 6r5c9, both imply 6r1c5,
9r23c1 forces either 9r5c6, implying 9r1c5 or an x-wing 9r59c89, also implying 9r1c5.
=> -7r1c45
Then skyscraper, kite solve the puzzle.
But i guess, there should be more ...
