I think in real life they had 10 minutes or so combat time over London,so it must have been pretty hair raising trying to get back while avoiding enemy fighters. I already flew one mission out in the channel,got a fuel leak and only just made it back to base with empty tanks and the fuel light on! That was bad enough,and no one was shooting at me!
