Most days you are significantly faster than I am (today your time for The Times was half mine), yet this seemed to me to be one of Dac’s easier crosswords, and I was under 30 minutes.

But it was right up there with the best of his offerings: repeatedly lovely surfaces, and not a single clue was remotely dodgy. What a shame that such a beautifully-crafted thing will soon be forgotten.

The letters are in correct order (reversed) so ‘about’ is a reversal indicator, not an anagram indicator.

I read 24A as a reversal of the odd letters rather than an anagram.

I knew 11A would be an anagram but I’m not familiar with the word so struggled with that one.
