Clue Chain 3

[Hazlinny]

Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

My clue:  Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

[Canary42]

Oooops   I was trying to revitalise this thread, but I appear to have killed it off.

 

Hint: Think of a word for fringe beginning with H, then drop the H as any good cockney would.

 

[Hazlinny]

? Harrier

[mallyh]

airman?

[Canary42]

Sorry, neither is correct. Mallyh marginally closest but don't read too much  into that.
