The Lyrics

I once came across a reference to German SS co-operation with Finland on a proposed lightweight wooden test disc craft with the Thule/Vril T7 engine. VL was not contracted due to production problems, so the shell was built by the Finnish Army. Apparently, the project was started but stopped as not completed as Germany would not export the T7 engine. The Finnish wooden disc form would have been exported to Germany for testing in Hauneburg (a military test area codename). The Finnish name was to be "Sunray". Sunray" could have a few different translations. Maybe "auringonsäde", "päivänsäde", even "auringonpaiste" (which is more like "sunshine"). This craft remains a mystery as it was to be unmanned, lightweight, maybe for low flight recon. The Germans worked with Italy at Fiat Riva del Garda on co-operation disc technology and also with Japan (Mitsubishi and Nakajima). To a lesser extent with the French through S.A. Wibault. Germans were to help VL with a wooden "Mosquito"-like aircraft called the Vihurri, but again the Germans did not like to export their engines, in that case DB 605s. Whatever the Sunray was, only the wooden shell was partially completed before all efforts stopped...
Finnish Sunray of wood
out of time

Germans wanted disc craft of wood
Finn supplyin’
For test flyin’

VL couldn’t handle it
Aircraft not turnin’ out well
Army was contracted
For quick assembly of disc form shell

Finnish Sunray of wood
out of time
Army design

Made of wood
Made of wood
Made of wood
They made a disc-form
Waited for tech to share
No T7 from Germany
So they didn’t transport

Mystery
Finnish Sunray of wood
out of time
(test craft for Germany)

Had a little trouble understanding this one, but still a good enough parody for 5's, maybe if you had a pic of the craft? :-)

WCJ, basically the SS wanted the Finns to build a lightweight wooden disc craft for them. VL, the Finn aircraft company was too busy with other projects (Puuska, Vihuri/Vihurri) so the SS got the Finnish Army to work on the disc-form- the wooden outer hull or shell. Some work was completed, but then all activity stopped due to distrust over the engine. The SS wanted the disc shipped to Hauneburg and the Finns wanted the engine delivered to test it in Finland. No go from there. I have never seen a pic of it nor the other Axis co-operation discs (except one claimed sighting postwar by US military of a disc craft over Japan claimed to be from WW2). Maybe the Sunray would have looked something like this: http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/picturesc/japan1.jpg
