Slightly off subject, but I remember back in the 80's (I think) , during a long transit from Stanley to ISK Terry Rumble wrote a song about the Mighty Nimrod. It was set to a tune by Marliena Dietrich (sp?) and went something like:

rolling down the runway
throttles open wide
watch the Mighty Nimrod
Sway from side to side

'crew in their seats
they're all strapped in
the engines roar
Oh what a din

we're going on patrol boys
we're going on patrol

As I remember, it went on for several verses
each verse taking the pi$$ out of each crew member!

Sorry to be off the point!

Kind regards
TSM
