Crossword Genius

Post tune man heard (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airmail

'post' is the definition.
(airmail is a kind of post)

'tune man heard' is the wordplay.
'tune' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'man' becomes 'male'.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'male' sounds like 'mail'.
'air'+'mail'='AIRMAIL'

(Other definitions for airmail that I've seen before include "Letters that are flown in" , "Letters carried by plane" , "Letters sent up" , "Postal system f" , "Letters taken by plane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
