I have virtually a full grid ( one blank cell ) and know what needs to be highlighted and thus the theme. I have an answer to 38 down but, if it is right, the unchecked letter is either N or V. Any hints would be gratefully accepted.

unchecked = N

Many thanks Kilgiore Trout. Just figured it ou.

I've solved almost half of the clues, but utterly stuck now. Can I have a hint on 13a please?

Goddess, independent and narrow-minded, carried by a Sea King? (9)
I have ?????H?NE
There may be more letters than that, though.

google "sea king" and sikorsky and it may get you going. Your H is not correct.

Thanks, kilgore trout. I've got an idea for that clue now, but not sure how it works, if it is right.

Ok, I've got that one now. Still struggling with others. I'll probably be back to ask for more hints...

Can anyone help with the answer to 19d please.

c+ho+king

I just haven't got to grips with this one yet. I can only presume that the "reductions are all abbreviations. Can anyone help with 22d ... Very animated coal tit doesn't finish flying about "?
