UFO 2 - Flying (sometimes simply UFO 2 or Flying; also subtitled One Hour Space Rock) is the second album by UFO released in 1971 (see 1971 in music) on Beacon label; issued on CD in 1994 on Repertoire Records.
This album is distinctive for its title track, which is the longest song the band ever recorded. The track finishes with a backmasked reading from Rudyard Kipling's Gunga Din: "Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you, By the livin' Gawd that made you, You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"
It was the last album to feature Mick Bolton on guitar, he would be replaced with Michael Schenker not long after the album's release.
