Thanks Caritas, and welcome. Some enjoyably intricate constructions and interesting vocabulary / GK here making for a nice challenge. Favourites 8a 20a, 25a (though see spoilers), 2d, 3d, 15d, 16d (COTD) & 17d (I *think* "transports" just about works). A few observations follow - hopefully constructive! So, spoilers ...

I don't seem to be able to edit the grid to add annotations after publishing, so I'll post them below. So spoilers follow:

Thanks Caritas and welcome to MyC. Very impressed with the invention in here, which bodes well for your future puzzles. I managed around 60% before resorting to reveals. Fez has done all the heavily lifting so I won’t add to his points but I did agree with them. I would have had 16d as COTD too but I hadn’t heard of it so that was one of the reveals. Very neat though. My favourites: 8a, 25a, 2d and 11d.

Thank you Caritas. I agree with Coot and Fez - an imaginative puzzle cleverly set around a theme. Favourites were 10a (despite Fez's technical criticism of it) 23a (a splendidly absurd surface always helps) and 25a (as does a little rudery in the background). And having had it explained, 16d is brilliant. I look forward to more from you.
