Put the money up for two aerial manoeuvres (8)
I believe the answer is:
bankroll
'put' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bankroll that I've seen before include "keep afloat?" , "Fund" , "Provide finance for" .)
