Interesting stuff. Is anyone still actually denying the use of 100octane?
In this audio documentary, one of the BoB pilots recounts his friend being shot down over the channel and being picked up by a tanker carrying 100octane fuel for the fighters (and how terrified he was at having to be on that highly explosive ship!).
