Gentlemen,

We do actually have a BOC Song, and if animated signatures were allowed on these fora, you'd have seen it already. To the tune of 'What shall we do with the Drunken Sailor'

What shall we do with the Barmy Airman?
What shall we do with the Barmy Airman?
Seems to us it's only fair, man...
Put 'im in the B. O. C.

'Contact! Clear!' And the engine's started...
'Contact! Clear!' And the engine's started...
Fifteen feet and he flies inverted,
Barmy as can be!

Upside down, sets off for action...
Upside down, sets off for action...
Clears the trees by the merest fraction,
Utter lunacy!

Strictly speaking the line should read 'Contact! tink... tink... tink... Clear!' but there were always arguments about the punctuation so we dropped it to reduce the mess damages bill.


Not saying it couldn't benefit from a banjo though...

Oh that I was back in the dear old PBI.
With no more Triplanes on me tail, nor tracer tracing by.
And no more flames and clickerty-clack and no more blooming sky,
And only a couple of feet to fall whenever I want to die.
