Can anyone help parse this clue from Arcauria's second volume of Chambers crosswords. The clue is


"One leaves airship in South America" and the answer is RIO. But I'm not sure why. Although the definition at least is surely "in South America".

Any help greatly appreciated

R101 was a British airship operating in the 20s/30s. Remove the last 1 and you are left with R1O.
