Old RAF Song – Info. WANTED

Does anyone know where I can secure a audio copy (or words) of an old RAF song, which included the words: “There were WAAFs, WAAFS…”?

Sorry I can’t be more precise.

aj and Moggy are right, that’s Quartermaster’s Stores.

But . . . there were dozens if not hundreds of different versions of that ditty. The base idea and chorus was the same in all cases, and some of the basic verses, but pretty much every station and most sqns had their own version with local events, peoples and places given verses all of their own. I mean, the version we sang < :rolleyes: > on Gan didn’t refer to WRAF’s but to Q’s. In fact, wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t identify a bloke’s time and postings in the RAF by the particular words he knows to many of these ribald old dittys. 😉

Sounds like it is building up into an RAF adaptation of ‘The Quartermaster’s Stores’
