Anyone out there got a copy (electronic version..... i.e. could ya scan it for me?) of the 72 Sqn Songbook that they could email to me? I have lost my copy in all the moves I have made and would love have a copy again.
Sad days since the mighty Swift became a reserve sqn. :{

Contact 18 sqn Aircrew Fund they have a few copies of the SH song book . If not get hold of "Jerome the Dome" at Leaconfield you'll know who I mean .
Remember , "You've got to be good to be gash"
For coffee Sir? Too Rude for fixed Wing !!!!
with weeks to do, looking at a copy that i found whilst clearing years of **** out of my locker.
will not be near a scanner for a while, need to take leave you understand.
JJ has moved from Letchville I believe.
Book was updated with such classics as
'You've lost that rotor speeding' -
a lament to a certain Senior Officer's earlier flying ability!
'Where's the Puma gone?
he's gone to Monaghan, far far away'
to celebrate AJ's navigation skills

They come over to Ireland just for a swan
Once or twice or year.......
The Puma aircraft,
give it a chance,
a plastic Wessex,
it's built in France,
Aeropatiale, they say it works,
but we know better,
it's flown by Jerks!

Cos we're going on standown,

Thanks Folks,
I'll see about getting a copy from JJ "The Engine Driver" :cool: .... contacts at Lec will know where he is in the world!
"We don't need to dark Dungannon...... " (to the tune of Another brick in the wall) may not have made the book, but was a great Orange Whip hit in the Swift Retreat...... oh those were the days. Once I unpack (again) I'll post the lyrics.
SAR Buoy ........ W###ers..... Oh cripes I became one ;)

Dope,
Try phoning the FRC section at Boscombe and you will find who you are looking for. I spoke to him just before Christmas and he was still as mad as ever. When do I get my photo back?

...a plastic Wessex, it's built in France,
Hayes, Middlesex actually, but lets not be pedantic. It's only a song. ;)
Ooby doo, I wanna be aircrew-hoo-hoo,
I wanna fly like you, in da sky like you hoo-oo-oo...
There's more in the 103rd Jungle Bashers song book - from the world's greatest (ex-)helicopter squadron.
