Love it! A rewording of the original Fleet Air Arm song:
"Oh! they gave me a Seafire to beat up the fleet,
and I beat up the Rodney and Nelson a treat,
but I forgot the high mast on the old Formid
and a seat in the goofers was worth fifty quid"

Perhaps the SHB mission result was influenced not by the "feel the NEED FOR SPEED" but by the "feel the NEED TO PEE"? Four hours (3.5 + extra preflight) is a long time....
