Rotary - The song.
Guys and Gals,
Just a quick plea for a little help. Currently posted somewhere when the name of the game is to annoy F3 mates. Could you please forward ANY (not only the official!!) verses of the cracking old drinking song, Rotary, that you may know- or indeed make up on the spot!
Cheers

Only remember the first verse:
'when I was just a little boy
I asked my mother, what should I be
Should I fly Harriers
Should I w**k cats,
It's all the same to me
Rotary ,tary - the Puma's the girl for me
She flies so gracefully
Rotary, tary
Someone must still have the SH sonbook?!

in the interest of promoting anti-FJ banter I shall ignore the outrageous attempt at trying to steal some SH credibility by substituting the french, plastic, word 'Puma' in the Rotary song.
Group 2 pilots, designer labels they have all got.
But you ask the girlies what they prefer
and a big chopper beats the lot....
Fast-jet pilots, they sound so punchy on the RT
but when they bang out, 40 miles out
they call for rotary.........
etc etc
a search will complete the edition of SH songbook
try the ROTORHEADS thread

Cheers for the response guys... but there has to be more! Some of these old 'traditional' songs do seem to be dying out... so if anyone can think of more...... post away!

"Where's the Puma gone?" was always a favourite (Monaghan, actually). Also, sending a Puma 40 miles out when it hasn't got a winch was always a truimph of looks over practicality. But gents, let us keep these little differences for when the FJ mates aren't looking.
I watched a 3000+hr harrier test pilot mounting the jet prior to his display flight. turning to Angry Crewman, I observed: "Just look at that. All that experience and he still needs help strapping in."
Boom boom.
