Inquisitor 1325

[Ripper]

I've got the central down unclued answer, but I'm completely lost as to the rest!!
Please could someone help me with 1 down: God who destroys trees (4) _ I _ _
and 25 down: Mist over second opening to unusual Cornish tunnel (5)
The wordplay in these gives an extra letter.
Thanks in advance

Hi.
2 down is a thematic answer. The thematic letter is missing from genus of trees to give a destroyer.
25 down is normal clue with an extra letter. Mist gives a very common 3 letter word, then short word for a second (first letter of this is the extra one) plus start to unusal. Tunnel is the definition

Any luck yet?

Hi Geoff.T
Did you mean 1D? I definitely have 1D as my thematic answer. The spare letter from 2D is the first letter of the "further location". As a fan of the performers of the entertainment and an original protester back in the day I enjoyed this one!

Just by the way. C-cum-H is now open again as part of Manchester's Metrolink tram network. But not the the original building, sadly.
