British planes start to pitch and roll (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bap

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

'roll' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'british planes start to pitch' is the wordplay.
'british planes' becomes 'ba' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'start to' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'pitch' is 'p'.
'ba'+'p'='BAP'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bap that I've seen before include "Large soft bread roll" , "Large flat round roll" , "Flattish bread roll" , "Big roll" , "A soft flat bread roll" .)
