I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'last bit of the journey' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tiger moth has to fly' is the wordplay.
'to fly' is an anagram indicator.
'tiger'+'moth'+'has'='tigermothhas'
'tigermothhas' with letters rearranged gives 'HOME STRAIGHT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for home straight that I've seen before include "Final stage of a racecourse" , "Last part of a race" , "final stage of race" , "Last stage of race" , "covered in neat report" .)
