Is this actually possible? Considering so few pf the planes were built... i dunno...
Manchester
Bomber Wreck
Manchester
bomber rotting away
Different
than it was before
Holes
in the surface skin
Many
pieces missing
Broken
in two
Separated
by many feet
Engines
fallen free
Skeletons
of the crew inside
Unknown
war grave except to them
Who
haunt their lost bomber
Lying
under the sea bed
To
them they’re still flying
In
the sky above enemy territory
Fighting
for their lives
With
a faulty engine
Not
actually on fire
Then
the flak hit them
Damaging
the tail unit
Followed
by an enemy fighter
Who
shoots them full of holes
And
kills the Flight Engineer
Hitting
him with a 20mm cannon shell
But
not before the gunners
Down
the Nazi night fighter
The
crippled bomber flies on
Slowly
losing height
They’ll
never reach the target
Nor
return home to England
So
drop their bombs on a small town
Unknowingly
killing dozens
Four
tons of bombs will do that
The
Manchester bomber wasn’t fired on again
Losing
height was the enemy
They decided
what to do and drew lots
Bail
out or ditch in the sea?
They
decided to ditch
It
was almost dawn
And
the horizon lit up
They
should of made it
But
the faulty engine finally died
The bomber
stalled and dug a wing in
It cartwheeled
over the sea
Broke
in two and sank
All
aboard were knocked out
And
taken to a watery grave
Unknown
to the world except themselves
The
only remaining Manchester bomber
