The Beaver Ballad

I'm pretty sure this has been posted here before, possibly even by me, but it's worth a re-post.

The photo recce Beavers in Northern Ireland inspired a verse in a song in the helicopter songbook. Apologies for any inaccuracies:

"There's a funny looking aircraft,
To the South of Crossmaglen.
Flying round and round in circles,
Flown by funny looking men.

For its wings are stuck on sideways,
And they don't go round at all.
Spends its whole life taking pictures,
Flying just above the stall."

Might be more but that's all I can remember now. 'Twas a long time ago.......
