Interesting topic.
Geoff Wellum in 'First Light' describes a particularly nasty sortie in bad weather in the 'Convoy Pair' chapter.
His r/t was also unserviceable, so no help from ground control in terms of vectors to base etc.
He got back safely owing to good knowledge of the local geography, coastline and landmarks, good navigation in almost blind flying conditions, and probably a good deal of luck.
