Didn't you just say some posts above that the use of 100 octane fuel on one day doesn't mean it was used on the next day?

Sure I did and it is true.
I don't know the plugs authorized for 87 Octane fuel. Do you?
Since 87 Octane is more volatile than 100 Octane, the hotter plugs will work fine but that is a guess.
Most importantly, a set of plugs is much cheaper than Avgas especially in a WWII Fighter; they are even cheaper than a tank of oil. The RAF would save a considerable amount of money if they ran units on rest and refit status on 87 Octane as noted in the January 1942 Operating Notes.
That is exactly why they note other units not on operational status, 87 Octane!!
I know you’re trying to be sarcastic but maybe you can see things from a more grounded perspective.
