Recently unearthed publicity material for Britten's 1954 opera "The Turn of the Screw" was surprisingly adventurous for its time.

"We never did it like this in the Airforce and what do you mean I have to get rid of my Beret?"...


Or

"It's this damn Labour party, we were supposed to fit a Phalanx, but this is all they could afford in the end, we had them done cheap in an Afghanistani flea market... I was still at School until someone in Government cottoned on that employing boy labour reduced the Navy wage bill, cut down the education bill and was seen to bolster the service strength"..

Or

"What do you mean it's my turn in the Barrel? that's not the description they gave me for a Boy Entrant at the careers office".

Well, lets keep the ball rolling eh? (No, that's not an entry!)

I must admit, for not so many entries, they were all high quality although, I was expecting some mention of Lord Draper of the Admiralty in there...

Anywho....in 3rd place...Hempy's

This is my cannon,
this is my gun.
This is for killing,
this is for fun,

now faf off
2nd place...Air Cadet's

"In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)"
