MISSING
Hurricane
fighter plane dives through clouds towards the ground,
he
goes down through the thick grey murk, no one can see him or knows
where
he is going.
His
wingmen landed some time ago and still there is no trace of him.
Is
he gone, his plane so many smashed pieces of metal or burnt ash?
The
dogfight was fast and swift with many planes turning and rolling
for
ascendancy over the other, six Germans and two Hurricanes are missing.
Yes
we beat them this time, but for what? If only this was a game and
everyone
survived.
There
will be empty beds tonight and a grieving girlfriend and family,
hoping
against hope that their boy will return.
