Crew member gets more than one flyer to put away a bit of technology (9)
I believe the answer is:
boatswain
'crew member' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'more than one flyer to put away a bit of technology' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'flyer' could be 'bat' (bats can fly) and 'bat' is located in the remaining letters.
'away' could be 'a' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'bit' could be 'i' (resembles 1, a binary digit or bit) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boatswain that I've seen before include "4 [TEMPEST] character" , "Seaman" , "Officer on board" , "Crew member" , "Merchant ship's petty officer" .)
