State of a crashed plane (5)
I believe the answer is:
nepal
'state' is the definition.
(Nepal is an example)
'a crashed plane' is the wordplay.
'a crashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'plane' is an anagram of 'NEPAL'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "somewhere in the Himalayas" , "somewhere in Asia" , "Asian country -- plane (anag)" , "Asian country, capital Kathmandu" , "Hindu kingdom in south Asia" .)
