you are yet again being deliberately misleading and misrepresent facts, to suit your own personal agenda, not really surprising given your track record in that regard

that list made by TheGrunch in that post is simply a list of direct reports from certain pilots in some specific squadrons stating they were using 100 octane fuel (which is entirely normal, since we already know it was being supplied extensively during that period). and a significant number of the pilots refer to it because compared to pre-BoB performance it is an important issue for most of them

what that list does NOT say is that there is somewhere an equal list of reports from all other 50% of squadrons and pilots that they were using 87 octane ! i challenge you directly here, and either put up or shut up ! you now go and try to provide proof of this misleading information you are trying to peddle here !! (no, and german war propaganda does not count). find it from brittish wartime sources (or extensive analyses from fuel samples taken by germans from many downed or captured brittish aircraft of that era), quote it directly, and give your specific sources. you cant , i know you cant, because it doesnt exist (except in the fictional reality you live in )

numerous other posters in this forum, including me providing several in this thread, have on the other hand already provided our information that directly indicates 100 octane fuel was available to most fighter squadrons FROM THE START OF BoB, and that if any pilots didnt have it at one point or another THEY WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION. your deliberate misrepresentation and misleading posts do not change that or magically alter history !

get it ? the absence of direct quotes of 100 octane in the other 50% of squadrons he didnt list (provided by TheGrunch) is NOT evidence of the use of 87 octane fuel in the rest of them, simple really ? but of course comprehending it requires you to be intellectually honest and deal with known historical facts in a logical and impartial manner
