. Well if you lot are going to learn some appropriate drinking songs, (and by all the gods you should!), then those songs best be of the RFC and RNAS variety. Here are two standards in the upbeat tempo that you can begin with. What Do You Want?(here is a link to a 1917 recording of: "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?" so that you can sort out the tune to which this ditty is sung) What did you want to go and crash like that for? It’s the second time today. You make me mad, you make me sad. First it was a Rumpety, then a brand new Spad. What do you want to fool around like that for? First you banked and then you slipped away.
But never mind, you’ll go up again tonight, with umpteen bombs all loaded with dynamite. Then if you make another crash like last time, then you won’t draw next week’s pay. The Only Way(here is a link to a 1915 recording of: "The Only Way" so that you can sort out the tune to which this ditty is sung) If by some delightful chance, when you’re flying out in France, some Bosche machine you meet, very slow and obsolete. Don’t turn round to watch your tail, tricks like that are getting stale; just put down your beastly nose, and murmur, “Chaps, here goes!”
It’s the only only way, it’s the only trick to play; he’s the only Hun, you’re the only Pup, and he’s only getting the wind right up. So go on and do not stop ‘til his tail’s damn near your prop; if he only crashes this side in flames, well, only then they’ll believe your claims. So keep him tight in your Aldis sight, it’s the o-o-only way!
If on escort you should go when the Fees are very slow, while the Archies grumph and roar, and Huns gather by the score; if a nasty Hun should strive, it’s away that you must dive. There’s no choice at all, and so down your nose must go!
It’s the only only way, it’s the only trick to play; he’s the only Hun, you’re the only Pup, and he’s only getting the wind right up. So go on and do not stop ‘til his tail’s damn near your prop; if he only crashes this side in flames, well, only then they’ll believe your claims. So keep him tight in your Aldis sight, it’s the o-o-only way!

A tried and true tactic Maeran, and one that is proportionately successful based on the squiffyness of those around you.

If I had the time, I'd probably come up with a BWOC or WOFF version of "It's along way to Tipparary". Pretty sure that one's a WWI era song, no? And barkeep, a round for all me'boys here in honor of the release of WOFF UE!

I suppose I should have recorded it so's to have a good laugh for everyone. This will require bourbon or brandy to be properly performed. Please see to the arrangements! I'll be practicing! Cheers!

Greetings fellow BOC members and other interested victims - err umm - candidates. I am posting to address a most grievous oversight that must be corrected post-haste. When checking our club records this morning I discovered that loftyc, who applied for membership some time back and is most assuredly qualified, was overlooked during the most recent initiation ceremonies. This error shall be amended this evening at the club bar where we will properly initiate our BOC brother by abusing his newly created tab and introducing him to one of our most hallowed relics - the cricket bat.
Welcome aboard loftyc, most glad to have you as one of the daft, the touched, the barmy. BWOC BWOC BWOC!
Lou

Good catch Lou I was feeling the need for some spirits. Congrats on your conformation Loftyc. Now which way to the bar. I think it is this way or maybe that way. If I get lost I will listen for the fine singing voice of Lou, that will show me the way.

Is this the Betty Ford Clinic for WW1 flight simulation?
I have a court order demanding that I present myself here for "evaluation".
Let's pretend I got the BWOC badge to embed here.

No JB, you have it quite wrong, we at the BOC don't wish to cure you but rather urge you to embrace your madness. Now then, if you've read our membership charter in the first post here you need only to offer a few of your qualifications, apart from those you've already demonstrated, and we shall be more than happy to welcome you in, start your bar tab, and introduce you to our most hallowed and sacred ceremonies.
ROBERT! Get the bat, we've hooked another one!
