Hit during air journey, evidence photo taken? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flashlight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'evidence photo taken?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hit during air journey' is the wordplay.
'hit' becomes 'lash' (I've seen this before).
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'air journey' becomes 'flight' (eg in a plane).
'lash' placed inside 'flight' is 'FLASHLIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flashlight that I've seen before include "that's illuminating" , "Beamer" , "It may be needed to see" , "Electric torch" , "One beams brightly" .)
