Glider,

The RAF had a very vigorous rotation schedule. The fight was tough and very dangerous so Dowding very intelligently rotated his units out to rest/refit.

In some cases, the rotation was in as little as 10 days of fighting. So when you count a 30 day chunk of time, that can be up to three rotations!!
