And all the facts from the National Archives say
- that the RAF decided in March 1939 to equip 16 fighter + 2 bomber Squadrons with 100 octane
- that in May 1940 they acknowledged that the fuel was delivered to
select fighter and bomber squadrons
- that in August 1940 they decided that other Commands
may use 100 fuel as well (which does not mean they did, they were authorized to do so)
- 100 octane vs 87 octane issues figures for 1940 all show that 87 octane was the primary fuel issued during the Battle, and 100 octane issues did not increase or took prominence until the day battle was pretty much over
Everything else is merely your speculation and wishful thinking about 'all' and 'every' unit using 100 octane, supported by no evidence as many has already told you. You can only offer mere rhetoric and nothing more.
Nobody else need to offer counter-evidence to your speculation, as you were not able to offer evidence to start with. The burden is proof is on you. You can't - I see you'd like to - escape from that fact I am afraid.
