Pompous type, British, with affected walk (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blimp

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

'pompous type' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'british with affected walk' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'affected walk' becomes 'limp' (limp is a kind of walk. I am not sure about the 'affected' bit.).
'b'+'limp'='BLIMP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blimp that I've seen before include "aircraft" , "returns one pound to provost" , "Airship - barrage balloon" , "full of hot air?" , "needs cover when shooting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
