RAF Brize Norton
No, armourers in the RAF do not typically go on patrol with the RAF Regiment. The role of an armourer is primarily focused on maintaining, servicing, and repairing aircraft weapons, munitions, and associated equipment. The RAF Regiment, on the other hand, is responsible for providing protection and security for RAF airfields and assets.

The Luftwaffe shifted its focus from RAF airfields to British cities giving the RAF time to regroup, re-arm and basically get its strength back. The reason the Luftwaffe shifted its attention was because the RAF bombed Berlin in retaliation to a bombing raid on London. (A mistake made by one German raid)
The RAF is the abbreviation for the Royal Air Force, of the UK. The RAF played a key role in the Battle of Britain.
Goering initially tried to draw the RAF out by attacking channel shipping. Then radar stations were attacked but the Germans did not realise their significance and in any case because of the nature of their construction they were difficult to put out of action although Ventnor was out of action for a while. The Luftwaffe then attacked RAF airfields and according to some the RAF was on its uppers and only managed to stagger on with difficulty once the attack shifted to London. However there are accounts of the Luftwaffe visiting nonmilitary airfields on a regular basis and also several of the RAF squadrons had dispersed grass fields suitable for operations and unknown to the Germans. Goering's aim was to destroy the RAF and he did not have a real plan to accomplish that since he thought that a head on clash between the two forces would end with RAF destroyed.
During World War II, P-51 Mustangs were primarily based at several airfields in England, particularly in the 8th Air Force's Fighter Groups. Notable bases included RAF Leiston, RAF Lakenheath, and RAF Bottisham. These airfields facilitated long-range escort missions for bombers over Europe, significantly contributing to the Allied air campaign against Germany. The P-51's performance and range made it a key asset in achieving air superiority.
