Cryptic crossword No 1,922

I enjoyed the first half of this on Cryptic Sunday and came back just now to finish it solo. Lots to like in both halves, just the right level of challenge for me, with some good humour and quirky constructions. I particularly appreciated 9a, 10a, 14a, 21a, 27a, 1d, 7d, 11d among others. No complaints, so will just say thanks and more please!

Nice Skirwingle. Annoyingly this was a DNF for me as I fell only at 26a... I knew the WP and I've seen this word in crosswords before but just couldn't recall it. I enjoyed the symmetries in the grid and the clues 1a, 20d, 7d, 2d, 27a, 21a
