A clue may have a letter removed or the answer could be longer than indicated.

21. Corn-coloured? In retrospect, not told about something often portrayed as red (7)

42. Sources of ore without spades pulling in mostly rubbish money (7, 2 words)

25d. Red-coloured egg laid underneath crate perhaps (4)

Thanks.

Just figured out 21.
25 Thematic. The answer itself has 7 letters. Crate = vehicle, with a four-letter 'egg', bomb. The definition is 'red-coloured'.

Thanks NAC.
Did not connect 4 letter word to egg.

I have a completed grid.

I see the thematically eliminated words have HMS.

I see a 13 letter word to be highlighted.

No idea what goes at the bottom of the grid.
Hint please.
Take all the HMS away from the puzzle number...
I added the HMS on to the traditional start time (the number of altered thematic answers) to give a time that is a.m. - I assumed the missing elements = the amount of c????-w??????? that has been done up to that point... but who knows?

Thank you NAC and ProfessorM.
Will think bout your suggestions.
42. Can’t parse it fully but it’s strip mines.
42 - 'without spades' = SINE S(pades) [around] TRIP(e)+M(oney).
I'd be careful about some of my endgame ideas, hankir - I don't agonize over them (but I sometimes over complicate them).

Thanks teenieleek and ProfessorM.
I am going with subtracting HMS from 1700.
