Airman out of place in yacht station (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marina

'yacht station' is the definition.
(place to moor boats)

'airman out of place' is the wordplay.
'out of place' is an anagram indicator.
'airman' with letters rearranged gives 'MARINA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marina that I've seen before include "Dock for yachts and cruisers" , "Harbour for pleasure yachts and small boats" , "place to moor up?" , "Base for pleasure boats" , "Pleasure-boat dock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Times.
