DEF

Special Instructions: This is my second go at this after a contributor pointed out a spelling error in one of the original solutions - many thanks to them. I've rejigged it as a result (mainly in the SE) but if you attempted this before it's not worth another go! My Uncle 5A is 22A later in the year and likes the cryptic so I've compiled this for him. There are a few clues/solutions that tie in with his interests (6A, 11A, 5D, 7D, 16D) but it's not a themed puzzle per se. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
