I nearly have full grid but D5 and D6 are baffling me. Can anyone help me to get this over the line?

D5 - def. Is "move"; wordplay is 1 + 3 "spun round".
D6 - def. is "heeled"; wordplay is "shoreward" with bits removed.

I'm stuck on A2 and B5. Will someone kindly help please?

I think B5 parses 3 (first word of clue, verb) and 1 (finish off package). The definition is the last word but it's slightly tenuous in my opinion.

I too am stuck on A2 and could do with hints for B4 and E3.

Thanks Mack---I'll mull this over.
E3 is easy once you see it: Def: 1st word. Wordplay: last letters (`ultimately') of the following 4 words.
I may be wrong with my B4, so I won't do that one yet.

Oldwolfie and Mack, A2 is a member of the clergy, minus 1 letter. Def. is 'coming'

Really enjoyed this. Arguably (again) not a crossword, but most of the clues were sufficiently straightforward that by the time I got to the trickier ones I actually had some checked letters. So all in all a fun challenge!

But I can’t parse B6. Think I have the definition (five words), but the wordplay completely escapes me. Please would someone put me out of my misery?

Adeano, B6 starts with an abbreviation of a Latin term for 'by the way'. 'Turned out' can mean 'removed the contents of'.
