Electronic piloting system acquired by Delta, cannily (5)
I believe the answer is:
tacan
'electronic piloting system acquired' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'delta cannily' is the wordplay.
'TACAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain 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?
