I found it a bit more of a struggle than HG, and took ages to understand the M(i)andy clue, though I had the answer quite quickly!
I was rather dubious about 27A where the type of protection afforded by a pelta (shield) is rather different from my understanding of aegis, which I took to be protection (patronage) from a person rather than an object.
Good crossword though and a nice idea with the up and down answers.
