Just dreaming up a good title for an RAF songbook. Does it exist ? I remember years ago there was a Rugby Song book which went pretty near the mark. I am sure that there would be a pretty good demand for one. I remember that , rightly or wrongly,( apropos that last phrase ; why not wrightly if wrongly is wright ?) Noel Coward was supposed to have written some of the best ones. "Craven A" being one.

Well, the Fleet Air Arm Song Book certainly exists, and goes pretty near - if not past! - the mark, as evidenced by Regle's Craven A, found on page 136 in my copy. I shall now see "The Master" in a new light and no wonder the title page is inscribed "For Private Circulation only"!
