"Just as German fighters lacked the range and endurance to properly accomplish their mission, so British fighters lacked effective range to loiter or patrol, and required timely ground control information so as to shoot and scoot."
Agree with your comments about the 'Big Wing', re: the Sector Stations Lw damage was due to 'lucky' hits on electrical cabling - which soon got repaired.
But the above quote has reversed the 'conditions' because the RAF had ground control interception guidance - they didn't need the range for wasteful patroling!
