Nightingale, perhaps, tires from flying (9)
I believe the answer is:
reformist
'nightingale perhaps' is the definition.
(Florence Nightingale)
'tires from flying' is the wordplay.
'flying' is an anagram indicator.
'tires'+'from'='tiresfrom'
'tiresfrom' is an anagram of 'REFORMIST'.
(Other definitions for reformist that I've seen before include "Wanting to change" , "Religious campaigner" .)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
