The answer is a 5 letter word beginning aa and is a cry of anguish or frustration.

The answer is very like HELP!!!
Do these have a definition?
If so I'm wondering if the definition is O (as in Oh!)
Fiction-factory is right with the definition.

Not sure what definition is....Still in the dark and hoping to hear from anyone engaged with this puzzle.
Managed to finish the last 4 but brain obviously being menaced by Dennis this week!
The answer is a 5 letter word beginning aa and is a cry of anguish or frustration.
That's what I was thinking. I can't fully parse the first bit though- can't see the Banks bit
I'm not sure if third letter is A or G
^or R even
The third letter is R.
Got it then but apart from the last two letters I can't parse the rest
Banks should be Blanks when missing letter added?
could the banks bit be asars with S as the omitted /extra letter ?
Asar are sand-banks. S is the extra clued letter which needs removing.
I am struggling too, with a blank bottom left corner. How about:

33a Glaswegian sailor joining special forces in Canada.

Any help is appreciated.
What is the letter count and any known pattern please
FF, I had SA?LTS so went with Saults, waterfalls in Canada. I'm not sure how it parses, not sure if there's an extra letter or an ignored letter!
Saut (Scottish form of salt = sailor + S for special. L is unclued so sauLts.
Silly me, of course: for 33a it's 6 letters ending in S. That's all I have.
Silly me again. I see it's been answered above. Thanks to all who helped.
