11 Michael J Fox; Ulysses S Grant; David O Selznick; Harry S Truman? If the S in Harry S Truman is any guide the middle initial in these gentlemen's names doesn't stand for anything - it's just an initial.
12 Devon (sea); Surrey (land); Lincolnshire (air)? The counties where the Service colleges are located. Dartmouth for the Navy is in Devon, Sandhurst (been there when I was in the school Combined Cadet Force) for the Army is in Surrey, and Cranwell for the Air Force must be in Lincolnshire. Officer training only!

9. I know Bleaklow and Kiinder Scout are both in the Peak District - is it as simple as that?
13. British EGOT winners?
14. These are abbreviations for the teams in the IPL e.g. CSK is Chennai Super Kings
15. This is a really good question so I'll leave it as there's a certain satisfaction when the answer dawns on you.
