Help needed today please. I have only two problems really. Firstly I cannot find the third letter of the location, so I must have an error which will be with 16d or 21a.
16d: Biblical wing swung over one hole in another. One letter in definition needs to become k. (8)
21a: with part of form once swindled old taxman is taken in. One letter in definition becomes T. here I have RAMPIRED but the D conflicts with 14d and this is driving me insane,

jogamel. 16D is 'king'. I also have that answer for 21A, but I haven't solved 14D yet.

King, yes. But the one I have I am not happy with. 14d is another word for a shed round a female garment of 3 letters giving me a B conflicting with the D of RAMPIRED.

jam = swung (in a jazzy way?) round O bore (rev).

But the missing A in the location is surely a compiling/editing oversight. The B/D clash where 14 and 21 meet cannot deliver it.

Just what I find cockie. I thought I must be wrong. I think the parsing of the King is a brilliant explanation, I could only see bore.
