Copter is a wreck ultimately after struggling in turbulence? (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
air pockets
'turbulence?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'copter is a wreck ultimately after struggling' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'after struggling' indicates an anagram.
The last letter of 'wreck' is 'k'.
'copter'+'is'+'a'+'k'='copterisak'
'copterisak' with letters rearranged gives 'AIR-POCKETS'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
