The Blitz has been officially called off, but JU88s from IV.NJG and their 110 escorts from ZG26 have been tasked to raid the docks of London and secondary target to keep the RAF busy on their own side of The Channel.

The RAF Polish squadron No. 315 is just getting aquainted with their Hurricane IIcs and have been scrambled to intercept incoming planes approaching The Channel.
