THE GENERAL AIRCRAFT HOTSPUR

 

The General Aircraft

GAL.48 Hotspur

Was a military glider

Commissioned at the behest

Of the then Prime Minister

Winston Churchill

In order to transport

Airborne assault troops into battle

The Hotspur was the result

But its tactical limitations

Meant it was only used for training

WHEN KITCHENER CALLED

When they hear the recruiter’s call And they take the King’s shilling They’re trained and uniformed And marched towards the killing
