Thanks ab. I thought it might be that, but the good would make 21 down end in an o, making it S?I?O. I can't see anything that might be.

stuck top right. He seeks chance of gold. 10.
If 'did it pale into huge significance for --' which was (Neil Armstrong)is MOON, then it starts with N N???P???O?

Similarly the O from MOON would start 'a tequila or cocktail suits oppressive atmosphere' 10. For which I originally had 'equatorial' from anagram, but which does not seem to fit clue.

Also 'acid smell almost strong' 5 starts with B.
and I have nothing for 'fighter was total zero' 4.

He seeks chance... looks like Prospector (prospect/chance+or/gold).

thanks Malone, looks good. Now Moon is wrong as it ends with P. If equatorial is correct. Did it pale into huge significance for (neil Armstrong) is ?E?P
