The pilot will immediately make for the nearest pub and, depending on how long he had been in-flight - and therefore distressingly sober - may or may not be cognisant of ground-based vehicles. As such, a 'fighter boy' who has been perhaps up to 12 hours away from the ale will disregard everything around him in his furious dash toward said bar and therefore may indeed become yet another casualty of the London transport system. We lost many good men this way.
Should his need for ale be not so pressing, it's entirely possible he will be able to negotiate his journey at a more leisurely pace and therefore avoid death by bus.
