An unusual challenge from BRADMAN this Friday , largely due to the wide spectrum of difficulty levels of the clues as well as an inordinate number of double definitions. Thanks BRADMAN !!

There were a few rather rare words in this crossword which I won’t mention here since a passing observer won’t want them to be given away, but you will know what they are. However, they were all as usual fairly and well clued by Phi.
Definitions, underlined, in maroon. Anagram indicators in italics.

Very tough, even once the grid filled up – several unfamiliar expressions and a lot of tricky parsing. Favourites 1ac, 21ac, and 18dn. Thanks to Enigmatist.
