Yes indeed, the NI Beaver Flight were an amazing organisation - lots of good blokes there ....

.... but no-one, nowhere, no-how is immune to the banter of the SH Songbook!!

[To the tune of "What a Friend we have in Jesus"]

There's an Army aircraft airborne
to the south of Crossmaglen.
It's a funny looking aircaft
flown by funny looking men.
And its wings are put on sideways
but they don't go round at all.
Spends its whole time taking pictures
flying just above the stall

It's been fired upon by gunmen
as it bimbles around the sky.
This is really not surprising
since Pongoes weren't designed to fly.
Still, we need a better aircraft
and it's plain to me and you
that it's better done by Wessex
and the boys of 72.
