Mr White's Pioneering Flight
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
See him fly over Torbay
From Torre Abbey Meadows today
In July nineteen ten
The fleet is here again
Two hundred warships this time
The view of them is so fine
But Mr Claude Grahame White
With his pioneering flight
Above the fleet in Torbay
A warning for the Admiralty today
A south westerly gale
Forced the fleet to sail
From their gathering in Mounts Bay
To a safe anchorage in Torbay
But Mr Claude Grahame White
With his pioneering flight
Above the fleet in Torbay
A warning for the Admiralty today
The combined fleet is here
With King George it brings good cheer
High above the fleet he flew
To show them what he knew
For their guns could not elevate
To threaten his fragile flying crate
Oh Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
In his Farman biplane
He will surely gain great fame
Oh Mr Claude Graham
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
See him fly over Torbay
From Torre Abbey Meadows today
In July nineteen ten
The fleet is here again
Two hundred warships this time
The view of them is so fine
But Mr Claude Grahame White
With his pioneering flight
Above the fleet in Torbay
A warning for the Admiralty today
A south westerly gale
Forced the fleet to sail
From their gathering in Mounts Bay
To a safe anchorage in Torbay
But Mr Claude Grahame White
With his pioneering flight
Above the fleet in Torbay
A warning for the Admiralty today
The combined fleet is here
With King George it brings good cheer
High above the fleet he flew
To show them what he knew
For their guns could not elevate
To threaten his fragile flying crate
Oh Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
In his Farman biplane
He will surely gain great fame
Oh Mr Claude Graham
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
Mr Claude Grahame White
And his pioneering flight
Mr Claude Grahame White
