It's a joke in historical context meant to increase immersion by suggesting the report is being given by a good-natured radioman. Might be unrealistic/simplistic, but I certainly don't see anything anglophobic.
And this is the wrong forum, but it's a bit of a stretch to claim that the RAF was more accurate and precise in their attacks. Bomber Command's policy was officially known as "area bombing," aimed at cities, as opposed to individual plants, with very few exceptions. In contrast, the 8th AF policy defined the target area as a radius of 1000 feet around the target. Granted, only a small percentage of bombs landed within this target area, but RAF accuracy was limited to cities until late in the war when "Oboe" blind bombing equipment and the like became available. And the statistics might be misleading, since Bomber Command operated for a year longer than the 8th AF, but the two forces lost very similar numbers of men, and Bomber Command actually lost more aircraft.
