To an RAF officer, a river resort? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fowey

'resort?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'to an raf officer a river' is the wordplay.
'to an raf officer' becomes 'FO' (flying officer).
'a river' becomes 'wey' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fo'+'wey'='FOWEY'
