Blighty deports no-good bounder (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eland

'bounder' is the definition.
(type of antelope - something which bounds around)

'blighty deports no-good' is the wordplay.
'blighty' becomes 'england' (I've seen this before).
'deports' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'england' with 'ng' taken away is 'ELAND'.

(Other definitions for eland that I've seen before include "Large African deer with short spiral horns" , "Led an (anag) -- antelope" , "Large African antelope with spiral horns" , "Antelope seen by Africans" , "Browser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
