10a is a word meaning windy with the first letter changed. Def is the first word of the clue, with the first letter changed.

16a misprint is in first word. Answer is a word hidden backwards.

Not entirely sure yet about 19a.

4d looks like elastic but cannot parse or reconcile with 25a. Anyone any idea?

For 5d I had CHI. I now know it's wrong but CHI = gypsy and CHI = spirit. I cannot think what 5d should be.

5d is a type of whisky, and romany word for entleman.
I have 25d beginning with a P. So I don't want 4d to be ELASTIC.
