Unles of course you can prove that they were not using the fuel which reminds me, to do that you need to prove which 16 squadrons or stations were using the fuel.

Any update?

I admit to not holding my breath
At the time 145 was based at Tangmere. Also based there were 43, 601 and the FIU. The FIU flew Blenheims so 100 fuel must have been available. It should also be noted that Tangmere was one of those stations listed in the Dec 7 1939 document http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...0oct-issue.jpg

It shouldn't be that hard to identify those 16 squadrons should it Glider? So why the evasiveness in identifying these 16 squadrons by a certain party?
