Electronic piloting system acquired by Delta, cannily (5)
I believe the answer is:
tacan
'electronic piloting system acquired' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'delta cannily' is the wordplay.
'TACAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tacan that I've seen is " Navigation system".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
