I have no idea where your first post in this thread is, and i wasn't talking about you specifically.

Since there were some operational history reports posted here somewhere showing Hurricanes that had been adapted to 100 octane fuel running around in the Battle of France, which ended in may, i conclude quite confidently that 100 octane MUST of been introduce before July, when i don't know myself.

I am not disputing your pilots notes and total conversion of every spit no matter where it was stationed in jan'41 though.

From the ops records i've seen here and elsewhere, it is clear from the dates which are always on these documents that many frontline if not all 11 group squadrons were converted in the main before July, so i do disagree with your opinion

Quote:
If you say the Battle of Britain lasted from July to 15 September, 100 Octane is pretty limited.
as far as 11 group is concerned.
