Tilly2. Glad I could help. I liked this puzzle,  and/but it was tricky in places.

I have three more 'au pairs' to find.

I'm finding it a challenge!

Still not completed this.

38a Press release before opening of enormous great structure. (6)   ??E?A?

45a ????E?

1d T??S

40d ??T?

Thanks for any help.

38 Prefab - PR E(normous) Fab, great.

Tilly2, your T at 1 D is wrong.  It's a B and 1 A goes with your 45 A.  For 1 D, the pairs are symmetrical, so you should spot its partner.

Thank you!

Tilly2, you're very welcome.

All done now.
