I've seen a few other threads about this - it's something about a Falcon Jet. The 'Search' box might help.

Yes it has already been posted as Fighting Falcon Jet - otherwise known as F16 - 16 being the theme

Thanks Malone. That is an F16!! but that gives me a problem with 55A - A?T?A - which I was convinced was ALPHA!! Just shows how wrong one can be.

33 Ewer, vessel. Ewe/animal+r/right.

You have read it incorrectly. The clue for 7D is actually:

7d Cereal that's rough: Ms stirs it (7)

Where "stirs it" is an anagram indicator and the answer is a cereal.

@ claudie ... and your last "R" is wrong.
