This is a video sent to me by Doug (Flying Trucker) of a neat little change of lyrics to The Irish Rovers 1968 hit, The Unicorn.

There are quite a few beautiful DeHavilland aircraft in it too. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks Doug.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Goodly afternoon all...

Thanks Larry... Wink

If anyone can find the words to this song would you post them here please...

The song was done by the "Fretless Bar Girls"

Oh and I believe the DeHavilland Beaver is the longest serving aircraft in the United States Military with several still in service... Wink

The aircraft was the only United States aircraft to win battle honours which it did during the Korean War... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I did a search for the lyrics yesterday Doug, but no luck. Sad

Thanks Larry as I have been searching a lot today for those words also.

The DeHavilland Otter Steve would carry two canoes strapped to one side and an aluminum boat on the other side. Outboard motors, gas, coolers, pax...etc...inside... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Unfortunately Doug, that would be a no. The group's web site no longer exists and the only email addresses I found for them
did not pan out. And an exhaustive search for the lyrics on the web yielded nada. Sad
