Say A380 flying near a Pole (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aeroplane

'say a380' is the definition.
(A380 is a type of aeroplane)

'flying near a pole' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'near'+'a'+'pole'='nearapole'
'nearapole' anagrammed gives 'AEROPLANE'.

(Other definitions for aeroplane that I've seen before include "Flying craft" , "Spitfire, for example" , "Lancaster?" , "Flying machine" , "What taxis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
