Thanks hw7. I'll look at the wordplay for 16a again. I was pretty sure given the first two letters (but wasn't certain that the first part of 14d fitted with 'troop' - still not sure why). I think I'm confident with 34a now but still wonder at 'rebuff'. Finally saw the light with 15d which was a doh! moment.
So, all done. Still puzzled by the wordplay for a couple of others but will wait a while to see if anyone else raises the same q?s

Thanks, Ginge, SW corner now sorted.

I'm still struggling with the 16 letter hyphenated word - I don't get an H anywhere, but I do get two P's, thus the usual second part of the word also occurs as the first part. Difficult to explain clearlY Maybe you could tell me where the H is from?

Thanks

The H and an E come from 22. You must have a P and an E from another clue in that group and have “mixed up” the types of two clues. Did you take “Prince” from 20 as an extra word perhaps. It should be a misprint clue.

Thanks Smithsax, I had indeed taken Prince as an extra word

All finished but a few I can’t quite see the wordplay.....
18, 36 (first half of answer) and 24. Thanks

Just seen 24 (doh!)

Simond9x, in 24 the answer is defined by the first word in the clue. 'In shed' is an instruction...

And 18 (another doh!)

Thanks, malone

SOS! I can't parse 33a and is the middle letter of 10d r?
