Okay, finally found the angle for the Mohne attack run.
You come in wide then sweep round and descend fast at the last minute as you come over the hook. Can see why they needed the full moon.
Hard enough to do that at night WITHOUT a bunch of angry Germans shooting at you. 😬

Same Mohne attack run, but at dusk rather than the time they got over target, as it gives you a better view.
Note me almost stacking it on the trees as I come over the island to hit height. Pretty certain the tail gunner would have been picking leaves out of his turret.

The approach to, and exit from, the Eder attack. You have to see this in daylight to see how bloody hard it is.
Now imagine doing this at night.

The Sorpe approach. Hill on the exit is a nasty one, requiring a quick turn back into the valley.
One of the interesting things about running these in MSFS at dawn is you're obviously not getting blackout conditions. Highlights just how populous the valleys were.
