A Lincolnshire Lad - The Avro Vulcan Poem by Christopher Tye

A Lincolnshire Lad - The Avro Vulcan

The last of the V-Bombers,
High level or low level flight,
Empresses of the skies to rival all others.

Avro's greatest jet aircraft,
Valiant, Victor and Vulcan V-bombers all,
Roaring into the skies with thunderous noise,
Operation Black Buck you're only bombing raids.

Victory at the end of your career,
Ultimate expression of the cold war,
Lincolnshire based like your ancestors,
Coningsby, Scampton and Waddington your homes,
Airplane par excellent beyond compare,
Nothing will ever better you.
