26 anagram of later on using +T (his)
20a - remember the Wombles?

26a- no idea!

Thanks bibblebub, dd67 and mamyalynne. I'm much too old for the wombles but I should have got the other two. Must try harder!
26a i reckon the T comes from the back letter of aerofloT rather than the first letter of This but that's only a minor detail in mamyalynne's answer.
Thank you for the correction Bibble.
I have transit lounge- but haven't a clue why
^^ Bibble has improved my explanation above.
Yes, I see it now- thanks
