Sally, raid (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">sally</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that sally can be written as sortie)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">raid</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I have seen 'Military raid' mean 'sortie' so perhaps 'raid' could also mean 'sortie')</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Warplane's flight" , "Sudden attack by besieged troops" , "Military aircraft flight" , "Sally" , "Military foray" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
