Kurfurst, you haven't shown any actual evidence, its that simple.

Lots of pre war documents and personal speculation/spamming/personal attacks, It's tiresome and irrelevant.

And still he tries to post non evidence in the Bug Report hoping that the mangers will accept a verbatim account of a summary presented on an old, members only thread...

I went to the archives and looked at the files myself. As to the cost I don't know but the Oil Committee file is a big one with hundreds of pages so expect cost to be high. I just copied anything which mentioned 100 Octane, they discussed other things but those I left.

I suggest going yourself its a bit special and you can ask for almost anything. Also some things that cost such as downloads of combat reports to your home are free at the NA. You can take a camera in and photograph what you want so you don't have to copy everything out word for word. The first visit is a bit of a fag as you have to get your pass but its worth the effort.

I admit to getting a buzz out of holding the original documents. When this pips thing came up one of his claims was that the War Cabinet stopped the deployment of 100 Octane in May 1940. I went to the NA and was able to get hold of the original papers, and to just handle these original papers that were at the table with Churchill and the others does make it a bit special.
These are now free on line and the originals stored but its an example.

Its a short walk from Kew underground station and well signposted so thats my choice of getting there

Here's what Oil: A study of war-time policy and administration by D J Payton Smith (HMSO 1971 part of the official war series) says about 100 Octane fuel pre- war plans and the so-called supply problems alluded to by Pips:

"The pre-war activity had been based on the assumption that United States supplies would be denied to Britain in time of war. In the event, as was shown, they remained available."

"100 Octane came into general use during the Battle of Britain..." confirming the All Commands memo issued on 7 August.

"...there was NO anxiety in these early months of the war about the prospects of supply."

You did vote for it, then proceeded to spam the bug report with nonsense about the power it gives, the usage of it, the damage it causes and the availability of it - all to derail the true position.
