Colonel ___ , David Low's pompous army officer cartoon character (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blimp

(Other definitions for blimp that I've seen before include "Airship - barrage balloon" , "Small nonrigid airship" , "Large inflatable" , "returns one pound to provost" , "full of hot air?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
