It's outside of my area of knowledge so I found it educational as well as enjoyable! Thank you, Chalicea.

Yes, very nice and a good challenge. I found the clues harder than usual for this setter, and 3 across held me up for a fair while. The subject matter was a new one on me, but it's never to late to discover these things!

Thanks to Chalicea, that was good fun.

There are a couple I can't fully parse so don't know how the extra letters are arrived at, but I know what they are so no problems.

I do have one query ..

According to the source I'm reading online, the unclued beginning 'O' should be plural?

Brendan, you are correct. Entry is singular in this case. Interesting oblique link to the current situation. Don’t think Chalicea did it deliberately.
