On September 25th 1940 a huge force of German aircraft -Heinkel He 111 P2 bombers and long range Messerschmitt Bf110 C4 fighters – successfully penetrated British defences and executed a daring and devastating attack on the Bristol Aeroplane Factory at Filton near Bristol.
Two days later September 27th the second attack was routed over Filton by RAF pilots in Hurricanes and spitfires.
The Luftwaffe were successful a long range attack. Fighter Command was found wanting. It went wrong on the 25th
On September 13th Buckingham Palace was bombed. Was the RAF defending the London Area.

If you are saying Luffwaffe was better and more skilled than the RAF during the first years of ww2....
I remember that the germans were actually fighting in the Spanish war in 1936,the Luffwaffe and polits was geting so much training and skills during this war.
The british decided to keep out of this war,the RAF was never in this spanish battle,as you can see,the germans and Luffwaffe did have an advantage over the RAF in the first half of ww2.
The over all result is that german pilots were still in the fighting mode while the brits had to get motivated.

I'll say one thing, they were better at hitting targets at night, although this was mainly down to technology than any particular skill set the Germans had.

Although their advantage in that respect was largely nulified by the end of 1940 thanks to RV Jones and co. http://www.vectorsite.net/ttwiz_07.html#m1
