First time in ages that I couldn't find a solution using the standard VH steps.

Code:

+-----------+---------------+------------+
| 3   4   6 | 5   27   8    | 1  79  279 |
| 128 18  5 | 149 2479 479  | 47 6   3   |
| 12  7   9 | 14  6    3    | 8  5   24  |
+-----------+---------------+------------+
| 49  3   1 | 6   8    479  | 2  479 5   |
| 49  5   8 | 3   479  2    | 47 1   6   |
| 6   2   7 | 49  1    5    | 3  8   49  |
+-----------+---------------+------------+
| 18  168 3 | 7   49   1469 | 5  2   148 |
| 5   9   2 | 8   3    14   | 6  47  147 |
| 7   168 4 | 2   5    16   | 9  3   18  |
+-----------+---------------+------------+

Thanks Dan. After the X-Wing I played two XY-Wings and was looking at a BUG+2. Should have tried again but I thought I'd end up with the same result.
