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)

another clue for answer could be.

Crash helmet?

[johnny.5]

crash helmet is correct 

 

[johnny.5]

cheer maths anagram around beginner (l) = top defender crash helmet

the other clue was run into (crash)

alien (et) after

being in charge = at the (helm)

it works in my mind 😏
