Some people seem to enjoy going in circles, but from a logical point of view it is impossible to prove that "all operational units used 100 octane fuel during BoB".
An analogy - if someone claimed that there are orange ravens, it cannot be disproved by showing thousands of black ones. However, to support the claim, it would be necessary to show a couple of orange ones - that would close the case and therefore, it is the way an argumentation needs to follow here.
Back to the 100 octane fuel, this topic has provided plenty of information and documentation regarding the use in 1940. Papers, memos, storage lists, logbooks, manuals, pilot and ground crew instruction, pilot accounts - all there to prove beyond doubt that 100 octane fuel was used.
What I'm missing is prove of 87 octane fuel being used in operational units. So, can anyone come up with a definite proof that an operational squadron used 87 octane fuel lets say until the end of September 1940?
I think that that kind of info, for instance a squadron logbook dating the conversion to 100 octane fuel in October 1940, would be far more valuable than another 500 posts trying to convince each other of something people simply do not want to believe.
