Finished, but can't parse 10A or 26A.
Any help please?

Clues?

Nelson, please help me with 20a before you go to the postbox! I have only managed the right side of the grid yet, so can't even begin to answer your query! 20a I have O?.MES and 18d MELIKS or MALIKS(cannot parse) clue to 20 is trees from Spain contributing to old wine butts. There will be one redundant letter or one extra letter needed.

Note, wordplay gives plus/minus letter.

Drained middle of catering.(6).

Prepare to drive 6 yards, initially going away.(5 two words).

Jogamel, def for 20A is trees.
O for old.
E for SPain inside a word for wine butts (minus i).

Jogamel, I think your 'm' in 20 A is wrong. For 18 Down I have 'opepes' which are trees. I'm unsure of the parsing.

Fourth letter should be P.

Nelson, I can't parse my answer to 26 Down, but it looks fine. I haven't got 10 A yet - a mistake in that area has held me up.

MELIKS is correct.
Def is Indian employers.
Fail to declare income tax is SKIM.
Return this and add in L (last of jail).
Missing letter is E.

Thanks Malone.
