A major advantage to the British in the Battle of Britain was RAF crews were -
1. Fighting over their own country, meaning pilots who were shot down could return to fight another day where as German Luftwaffe pilots were taken prisoner.
2. British aircraft that were shot down or crash landed could be repaired and used again, where as German machines were scrapped or destroyed allowing metal parts to be used for the British war machine.
3. Anti Aircraft units were deployed all over the UK adding extra pressure to German airmen.
4. Fuel - German aircraft made their trips from France, Holland & Norway leading to limited air time over UK airspace.
Often German fighters were left with 20 minutes worth of fuel over Britain before having to return home, this left German bombers vulnerable to British fighters that could land, re-fuel and re engage the enemy swiftly.
