Mixing the letter "a" (the cap of any) with the letters in "delphi" should give you a place where certain aircraft take off.

RE; these 'undefined' clues - is there a theme given in a preamble anywhere, or is there a theme coming through in the other answers that might point us somewhere?

no there isn't any theme given, so I'm so confused.
4d A mirror is a glass. If you change hands (i.e. change (l)eft for (r)ight), you'll get an unwanted type of lawn!
13 twist
23 laden
25 acted
13 Tw(o) 1st
13a Tw(o)1st
Tw(o) ist (on top)
La (al - Capone - reversed) & den (Ned reversed)

Ac t(Ennis) e (roun)d
10 not up

Put on (pretend) reversed
13a If you reduce the number "two" to "tw" then add "ist" (1st = on top), you'll get a request made by a pontoon player.
4d Apologies. My answer is even more devious than the clue! I should have said that what you get is a growth, of which couch (pronounced ***) is an unwanted variety.
