8d European ready in line that's set up engineering equipment (1-5) I have Y/- E - E -. 22d Practitioner of witchcraft twice in Middle East country (3-3) I have - B -/M - N. 27a Genuine sporting coach missing midfielder thus? (9) I have - - T - I - S - C (I think the last 3 letters must be 'SIC' for 'thus'. 24d Domestic Cockney lifted skin of the ham (5) I have E - O - E. This is not a crossword that I am used to! With answers, would it be possible to give explanations? Also 12a Enter data in yellow next to gaffer's initial (2,2,3) I have GO IN FOR, but hasn't this answer got a superfluous 'O'?

Thanks for any help!

Thank you all so much. Bibblebub, you showed lots of patience, giving me all the constructions. 'INFO' instead of 'INF' cleared up the extra 'O' for me. writesbad, I finally got the answer OBI MAN. dannyk13 even explained it, and also some others - to leave out the 'h' in 'the' is a bit demanding just because they use the word 'Cockney' in the clue, when the 'h' is only dropped in the spelling & not in the sound.
in 24d. the h was dropped in ome (Cockney)
