Hence I supported Osprey's poll in the bug thread, despite his often petty and malicious contents. I just disagree that this should be the only variant modelled. I think a 87 octane version should be there as well, and mission builders / server hosts will decide what they would believe to be true.
I have repeatedly challenged you to produce evidence of even a single Spitfire/Hurricane 87 octane operational squadron combat sortie during the BofB. This should be an easy task if, as you contend, the majority of RAF FC Spitfire/Hurricane operational squadrons were using 87 Octane fuel.

So I'll issue the challenge again and again, until you answer it or admit that your contention is unsupported by the historical record.

I'm still waiting for a reply.
