I am a vulcan bomber flying high in the sky
I flew in the Falklands war with great pride
as my engines roar the crowds start to sing
as they see this the pride of british engineering
one moment peace then an almighty roar
as roll Royce Olympus engines going into a roar
eyes turn and watch the sky
as I climb up wards with great pride
I am the legend of the v force still flying today
untill you have seen me you havent been to an air display
as when I run down that run and pull up into the sky
the crowd s roar with great pride
Martin withers once won the vc
as he opened my bomb carriage and dropped bombs on Port Stanley
that night the Argentinians had a great shock
the british had started a fight
they thought we would roll over and let them have their way
no way
the Falkland islands was british and that’s how its going to stay
the pride of british engineering had made its mark that day
group captain Nigel Baldwin and rest of black crews did us proud that day
with record-breaking bombing run which hit world news that day
The vulcan bomber we salute you today
This is tribute to you and your crews
we are all so proud of you.
FROM s a c newman R.A.F Wyton retired.
