Orgy disturbed by a tool in a flying machine (9)
I believe the answer is:
gyroplane
'a flying machine' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'orgy disturbed by a tool' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a tool' becomes 'plane' (plane is a kind of tool).
'orgy' is an anagram of 'gyro'.
'gyro'+'plane'='GYROPLANE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
