The Lyrics
This is about the cancelled 1950s Sir Barnes Wallis designed "Swallow" V-Bomber updated replacement that was not meant to be. Vickers was to build the long triangular-shaped fast strategic bomber that had several novel feature like an elevator cockpit that could be raised for visibility (unlike Concorde that drooped its nose), swing wings, and a tailcone missile delivery system. This could have also been the very first SST as it had a civilian proposal too! But the British MoD decided that it didn't need (nor could afford) the superior design and cancelled it despite Sir Barnes Wallis' best efforts to get it funded. Sad. Another "Whiffer" aircraft...
V-bomber no one knew
Barnes Wallis design
Nuclear strike bomber never flew
Wallis was applyin’
MoD was denyin’
Victory Bomber modern replacement
Wind tunnel sound
Triangular Mach 2.5 bandit
Jettisoned nuke tailcone would hit the ground
V-bomber no one knew
Barnes Wallis design
Before its time
Cancelled you
Cancelled you
Cancelled you
As not required
And they didn’t care
About your superiority
Vickers design not desired
Also a SST
V-bomber no one knew
Barnes Wallis design
(preceded Concorde in ‘50s)

Wow! looks like a plane out of "Star Trek" right into "Star Wars!" ;-D Brilliantly done Rob! 5's! :-)
I recall years ago that a British Vulcan bomber visited an airshow in Topeka, Kansas. Got to see it up close. That Swallow does look something like a Star Wars craft. In the vacuum of space, that configuration would be quite suitable.
Patrick- cool idea... we BOTH should write on the Vulcan, one of the most beautiful a/c of all-time!!!
