Irish in a ship or 747? (8)
I believe the answer is:
airliner
'747?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'irish in a ship' is the wordplay.
'irish' becomes 'IR' (abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ship' becomes 'liner' (liner is a kind of ship).
'a'+'liner'='aliner'
'ir' going into 'aliner' is 'AIRLINER'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airliner that I've seen before include "Passenger plane" , "Passenger craft" , "Commercial plane" , "Eg, Jumbo, Concorde" , "Large aircraft" .)
