Here’s a crossword I put together about 5 years ago as a holiday special. I couldn’t convince any paper to run it so it’s been sitting around on my old website all this time. It is possible that you may have come across it via a search or a posting that appeared on David Astle’s website 4 years ago.
Due to its nature, it’s only available in PDF format. There are no clue hints for this one – you’ll have to fly solo.

Enjoy!
(Solution will appear next week)
Thanks for that David. A nice change from the usual. I enjoyed it. Perhaps you could do another one on Anzac Day, but that would be five fewer clues! Regards Greg.
Got everything except the “Mass gathering mounted election” answer because I can’t find a word that is D_L_O_. I think “mounted” should be ON and the answer should be a word that means “election”. Am I on the right track here?
Hi Michael,
You have the right crossing letters. The definition is “mass” (in a fairly nondescript sense) and “mounted” is a reversal indicator (for a down clue).
Hopefully that will get you over the line.
Best
David
Thanks. I had the right word in mind but didn’t really equate it with mass because it usually refers to a rather small amount but now realize that “mass” in the strictest sense can actually be very small ( e.g. a “mass” can be a very small tumor). Thanks for letting me sleep tonight and thanks for doing what you do.
Not to be snarky but “photo session for a mannequin” would have been an easier clue for me.
