Special Instructions: This is my first ever attempt at setting a cryptic. I wrote it by hand on a plane with no internet, so didn't realise that 14 is a bit of a no-no in terms of lacking crossers, so apologies for that! Very much appreciate any feedback in the comments.

Wow Salamander, hard to believe this is your first puzzle! You’ve obviously been a very astute student for however long. So welcome to MyC, where I’m sure you will feel quickly at home. Plenty of excellent clueing here, both technically and surface-wise. For me there were four nho’s - 19a, 26a, 27a and 1d (where I would have expected ‘pie’) - but that may reflect more on me than you. Lots of ticks though, with my faves being 10a/11a, 3d and 5d. Not surprisingly, a couple of further thoughts…
