Girl Ed’s flying around in plane (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glider

'plane' is the definition.
(glider is a type of plane)

'girl ed's flying around' is the wordplay.
'flying around' is an anagram indicator.
'girl'+'ed'='girled'
'girled' with letters rearranged gives 'GLIDER'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for glider that I've seen before include "craft without power" , "Aircraft supported solely by air" , "Unpowered plane" , "Flying machine without engine" , "A sort of possum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
