Wind is getting up — fabulous flyer needs company (7)
I believe the answer is:
sirocco
'wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is getting up fabulous flyer needs company' is the wordplay.
'getting up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'fabulous flyer' becomes 'roc' (I've seen this in another clue).
'needs' says to put letters next to each other.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'is' backwards is 'si'.
'si'+'roc'+'co'='SIROCCO'
(Other definitions for sirocco that I've seen before include "Hot wind reaching Italy from Africa" , "a blow to Italy?" , "Hot dusty wind from north Africa to Europe" , "Hot wind blowing from north Africa to southern Europe" , "Hot south wind from North Africa" .)
