The role of the aircraft can make a big difference. Doing QTRs on the Tor GR1a was incredibly quick - land, taxi, refuel whilst new targets delivered to the cockpit and tapes dropped and new pack of VHS tapes inserted. It took minutes and meant taking to the air again with little idea of what the next few recce targets would be or what a safe tactical routing would entail.
In truth some of this was fudged as the final automated edit of the tapes would take an age. As we were judged by the time on the ground we often transited back at a relatively low speed to allow time for the in-flight recce report and allow the edit to finish. Otherwise you could taxi back and have to wait for the edit to finish.
The number of armorers available is probably the critical path these days. They have always been undermanned as in peacetime there is relatively little for them to do. Doing away with practice stores has allowed for further cuts in their numbers. Once you go to war and drop or part-retain mixed weapon loads, part fire the gun, require role changes, prep new weapons and fix minor snags then we suffer the consequences of regarding armorers as a nice-to-have trade.
