Padre in the RAF? (6)
I believe the answer is:
father
'padre' is the definition.
(I know that padre can be written as Father)
'the raf?' is the wordplay.
'the raf' anagrams to 'FATHER'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for father that I've seen before include "See 17" , "pops" , "PA" , "Raft he made for a relative" , "Relative and priest" .)
