Except for the stocks, combat reports, Oil Position meeting notes, various pilot's memoirs, squadron log books etc etc.

The case is stronger than the one you're putting which seems to be "because I say so". Time and time again you've made some statement which has turned out to be completely wrong, completely.

Then you come go quiet for a day and re-appear with a slightly differentley worded version of the same thing.

There were literally 100's of modifications applied to Mk1 Spitfires during the production run yet there aren't 100's of versions of pilot's notes.
