Storage area for old Chinese fish (6)
I believe the answer is:
hangar
'storage area' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'old chinese fish' is the wordplay.
'old chinese' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'fish' becomes 'gar' (type of fish).
'han'+'gar'='HANGAR'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hangar that I've seen before include "Where aircraft may be" , "Aircraft accommodation" , "Aircraft shelter" , "Plane garage" , "Large building to house aircraft" .)
