Three clues proving tricky.
32a Bards beginning to pen Lear (first half) in place where it's calm for him (5)
I have Be???
Think it might be Belee
27d Once behind in space race, having lost expert airman?(5)
I have Er??r
30d Riddle: what shows sides but no centre? (4)
I have T??s
Thank you in advance and Happy Hogmanay from a wet and windy Edinburgh

32a You are correct - LE(at) 'penned' by BEE ('Bard's beginning', ie first letter of 'Bard')

27d Your first letter should be an A rather than an E

30d Remove the central letter from a 5-letter word meaning 'sides' (as in sport) to give a word meaning riddle, in the sense of a sieve

Much appreciated, Jacknatter.

You're welcome - have a splendid evening/night!
