All approved aviation fuels must recieve a full specification from the aviation authority in place by convention. 100 Octane is no different and the provisional specification has already been posted in this thread.
That being said.......
If you have not picked up on it, I pretty much ignore you NzTyphoon.
If you learn how things work in aviaton, you will be far more successful in interpreting original documentation. |
100 Octane fuel continued to be called 100 octane fuel right throughout the war and never had a D.T.D (Department of Technical Development) number such as D.T.D 230 for 87 octane.
Pilot's Notes Spitfire V Seafire III page 18 100 Octane fuel only
Spitfire Pilot's Notes 1946 3rd ed (supercedes all others) September 1946 page 30-31 100 Octane fuel only - no D.T.D number.
The official designation for 100 Octane fuel was BAM100 (British Air Ministry) because it was developed outside of the Air Ministry's purview, by the private petroleum countries.

Crumpp you are the one who has consistently ignored information you don't like, so how about you show a little maturity and stop the "I'm superior to you ignoramus because I work in aviation" BS. You clearly have no understanding of how the British did things during the 1930s and 40s, you certainly don't know how things worked during WW 2.
