Just to say this was an excellent puzzle by Fieldfare.
Well worth the time and effort I spent .
One of my favourite setters .

Agreed. The title was a nice nudge in the right direction and I could remember most of the unclued answers, one of whom shares my surname.

I have a 14a in my ancestry :)

Yes, I enjoyed this one. I recognised a couple of the "unclueds" thanks to having read many books on the subject and that's when the meaning behind the title became clear.

More like this, please.

There's a famous story about 14a in one of the better-known books on the subject. :-)

18racer
Yes, more like this please !
The 14a in my ancestry was not so famous, but was awarded a Bronze Medal by the Royal Humane Socoety as a schoolboy, for saving a boy's life .

Glad you liked it!
I am completely flummoxed; having completed all the clued lights I am none the wiser as to the theme or ?names.
I'd appreciate a (hefty) hint. Google only works if you know what you're looking for!

They're pairs of surnames - an across paired with a down each time. Two very famous surnames precede them - that was the 11th in the series.

Lunar visit !

Now I get it! Thanks
