OK, the song has to be 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing'.

Is the line "Join the Triumph in the skies", the Spitfire being a Triumph that
 shares its name with a 'plane?

Or is that too obscure, and there is another reference I missed? - I don't have
 the lyrics in front of me, but I can remember (most of) the first and last
 verse by heart!

ISTR a year or two ago there were a couple of 'alternative lyrics' versions of
 this carol.  The line "Hark the Herald axles swing!" comes to mind, but I
 can't remember any more of it.
