1a High combe wingless fly's sent up (8)

??M???E? M is dubious..

1d Scholar's receiving post containing black and yellow alloy (13, two words) ?A???T?S?E?A? possibly ....metal ??

1 A - Bemocked, sent up. (I tried to think of a hint and couldn't!)

1 D. You've now got the first letter - and yes, 'metal' is the second word.

Thanks Malone

17 Your letters are correct - I got it from a quick look in Chambers, I didn't need to go very far.

17 a is not in my Chambers! But persevered and eventually got it online. Thanks.

I am also struggling with 17a - Enzed's remote place ducks nearly all rage about (5) - BO??? - what is the definition?
Also, need some help in TRHC:

16. A phrase meaning PDQ.
