Thank you Malone. Mainly enjoying this apart from some horribly obscure proper nouns that turn it into an exercise in googling, for instance:
3d Child's toy with red and navy floppy hat (5,6)
and
48d bohemian poet's anger about Keats, primarily (5)

One to go (never come this close before!):
34a Inhalant supplied to order (6,6)
