Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Harry Tate's Navy - John Connolly
Sorry if I ascribed the song to the wrong chap - I had viewed the sleeve notes, but only briefly.

Stopping the music to write the words down (taking me back in time some 30+ years!) is an option, but knowing me, I'd do that THEN find out some kind soul will say 'why didn't you just ask'?

Fortunately, I did 6 months in the RN in 1969 and got to drink kai (hot chocolate from a block). I'm also aware of Junkers, Heinkels and the italian bomber (whose words have been sneakily transposed to 'fit' - Savoia-Marchetti.

Fact is, I am a lazy *******. So I shall get my 'ears' on.

Thanks all for your input. This is a nice forum.
