Hi, Kurfurst the page you linked showing 54 squadron on training flights was during one of the times they were posted north to Catterick on a rest period.
54 squadron had 3 rest periods north, once after Dunkirk, once in june and once end of july/start of aug if memory serves me right.
Catterick was not an operational base during BoB, being well up north, one can only speculate at what fuel was being used there.
It would seem logical that 100 octane was not really needed there....
