Hi ttt-

'Tennis' in 10d is a straight forward anagram, with 'Matilda' giving [2] and ending with 'record' [5]

26a is a reversal of a kind of note to give a cheesemaker

I'm beginning to think I might have 16a wrong- any hints on how it parses would be appreciated

Hi wulgus
The engineers are the crossword staple military ones, inside what soldiers might be.

Thanks wulgus!

I'd confused myself thinking the first 4 letters of my solution were "on record".

Right answer, dodgy parsing so thanks for setting me right.

Right. Finished a while ago now but have still not fully parsed 6d. Could someone put me out of my misery...

You need to separate the 12 from the G.
12 is the definition, G is what you get if you interpret the answer cryptically..

6: definition "12", derives from G being the middle letter of a relevant word.

Also just finished. Full groan at 17D which was LOI!

Lot of COD contenders. I liked 12A and 8D.

17D my LOI too - I don't think I would have got it without the crossers.
