I'm no historian either but from what I have read the Luftwaffe could focus there attacks on many airfields in the southern and eastern coast airfields and when they did it almost broke the RAF.

These tactics were put to great effect on Aug 24th 1940 in what Churchhill later called "the desperate days"

London was another story though with only 10 minutes of loiter time.
