Wonderfull Woodspring Wings

Across the fields near Yatton

Where up on high larks sing

The skies now filled with model planes

To herald Woodspring Wings

Some with just piston engines

While others powered by jets

For every aviation fan

This is as good it gets

You might see fragile biplanes

Dancing through the air

Their pilots rooted on the ground

Eyes scouring everywhere

A World War bomber comes to land

Then Concorde takes the stage

Once more we see this icon

Of supersonic age

The crowds beside grass runway

Are treated to a show

That surely is not bettered

Wherever you might go.
