Seeking some verification as I'm on the trail of the unclueds. I have 6 of them and wish to confirm the letters for the following. Many thanks in advance!
ACROSS:
37 O?ANG
38 E?L?L

DOWN:
11 ?A?A?R?N?
15 ?A??A??

[ProfessorMaisie]

38 is E?CHI

You are right with the others.

[Matakari]

Thanks again!

[Matakari]

I'm on the final stretch now. I would like some answers for 17(a) and 3(d) please.
17(A) Found tree blocking highway (5) RUL??
3(D) Sheep dash after active man (6) AO???O

And verification for the following:
Does 28(A) begin with T and ends with K?
Does 15(D) begin with S and ends with U?

[ProfessorMaisie]

ULE is the tree inside RD

A(ctive) + OU (African 'man') + DAD 'dash'

no - G+C
no - L+E

[Matakari]

Many thanks, professor! Now, the last one to complete this puzzle!
Do I have the correct letters for the unclued #11 ?
?A?A?RIN?
Thanks in advance for your confirmation!

[Neveracrossword]

Your query was answered elsewhere, you must have missed it!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, (I see you now have the 'i' as well).
