Thanks Rogissimo. 16ac, I googled and was surprised too.

Ianwil, Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

The wordplay for 24a seems to allow only one answer, but I can't find any justification for the second word as being thematic (and the first one requires translation!) Am I missing something?

Hi Chrise

24a
It’s an anagram of the 1st & 3rd words. When you arrive at the answer you will see a theme related word within

Thanks birder. So it isn't necessarily the whole solution that's thematic, then? That may help with the 3 or 4 I have left.

I think that’s correct Chris. Three are hidden within solutions, all in the bottom half.

Thanks to everyone on here. It’s always great to get immediate feedback here on my Prize puzzles, with the week delay on fifteensquared. All the best, B

22D is the only solution still eluding me - I think I have 3 correct crossers, but ..... can anybody help?

"State", then a couple of first letters

OK, all filled in, but I'm missing the parsings of 8a and 18a. Any hints?
