A sally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

'a sally' is the definition.
(I know that sally can be written as sortie)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Raid - short trip" , "Operational flight by a bomber or fighter" , "Short foray" , "Short trip; attack" , "Warplane's flight" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
