Tip for 32a please, my last.
Definition?
I need to place a V in the clue. Is that right?

Lumen, V is correct and it goes in the penultimate word - think rib. I too cannot parse 24A.

All of 'barrel' (not just the abbrev) must be added to the answer to get 'full round'.

...and the misprint is in the first word.

Greengage, Answer is a synonym for the word with the corrected letter. When you add ‘barrel’, you get a term for a ‘full round’ - an aerial manoeuvre.

Thanks drxx, never thought of that, even though I had the correct misprint. Looking for a more convoluted resolution certainly had me going round in circles because I became transfixed with drum----

Many thanks drxx and simplesimon, it was the'full round' that had me stuck.

Getting really frustrated now. I have 14 pairs of clashing letters and the two phrases but drawing the lines is baffling me. Are they supposed to be drawn connecting successive letters in one of the phrases or do we have a free hand to artistically represent something?

They're in 4 distinct (not connected) groups, tatters.

...and both phrases follow the same order that spells out each phrase.
