Thing about opinion is everyone has one and in the western world the idea of free speech says we all can have one too.
However when presents an opinion on such a subject as the exact number of squadrons at a specified point in time and backs up with the relevant facts, the personal assaults begin. Why? That is good tactic when your argument is based on emotion, circumstance, and assumption.
Thing about the facts on this point is we don't have all of them to make a pinpoint determination. We can only make general statements.
The only document that will give us an approximate time for the completion of the transition is the operating notes. If you find an earlier edition that lists 100 Octane in Operating Notes on the Merlin Engine then you will know within a few weeks when the transition was completed.

You would be hard pressed to find an insult from me on this thread despite being on the receiving end of a number of barbs from others including you.
The operating notes are useless for what you intend, what counts is when it was issued and used.
Can I take it that you have dropped the 16 squadron theory?
Personally I am happy to leave the situation as being that FC was effectively equipped with 100 Octane during the BOB. I cannot prove that every station was equipped, I do believe it but know that I cannot prove it without a huge amount of time.
