Mayday, for example (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
distress signal
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">mayday for example</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(mayday is a kind of distress signal)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Another definition for distress signal that I've seen is " indication that urgent help is needed".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
