Polish pilots from 303SQN taking part in BOB from 31 august 1940 was flying Hurricanes MK1 of course using 100 Octan fuel ( i read their combat raports) and they were the highest score RAF SQN during BOB time. They got also the best kill to death ratio so in experience hand Hurricane was still good fighter plane in BOB time. Expecially when it could use +12 emergency power which make huge difference in low level combats.
