8.Yam asaki ?

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Thank you very much.

25a Thinking it might end in gale ....(Tom Gale athlete)

[highbury57]

Something gale is unlikely as the sixth letter is an e.

[highbury57]

Sorry! An L. Dodgy typing again. I can gloss it but that might spoil it.

[Moorea7]

^^ I was looking at OP's ... ?A?????E were ? is written for 6th letter!

Have you solved more to say there is an E as 6th letter?

[SunCoffeeTime]

6th is definitely an L.

As it stands -

?A?T?L?E

#25 fast(w)olfe

6D is Aleus, being A followed by Sue+L all reversed
8D is Yamasaki, the architect, being A+May all reversed with Saki (Munro, the author)

[Pianoman2003]

I see you have an R in 15D. I don’t know how to read 33A cryptically unless it’s the two meanings of Fellow?

[Pianoman2003]

And have put Wilde (as in Oscar) for 23A. Any thoughts?

23a Read-E(nglish)

[Pianoman2003]

Thanks L-I-K.

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome :-)

[Pianoman2003]

Still can’t quite see 25A Fast+(W)olfe, but who is the cowardly knight? Tom Wolfe is the US author, okay, but who is Fastolfe?

[Pianoman2003]

John, whose surname has a variation with an E.

[Lie-in King]

It's where Shakespeare got "Falstaff", the cowardice being his invention for the character.
