No it hasn't been posted:
Please show documentation that the RAF was only interested in operational trials
Can you not see a genuine problem in telling some of your frontline pilots it was okay to use 100 Octane plus 12 lbs boost in an emergency, while telling the majority "sorry chaps, can't use it, tough luck?"
Therefore, provide some documentation proving that pilots engaged in frontline operations were discouraged from using 100 Octane fuel.
Was there enough 100 octane fuel available to allow all operational frontline units to fly all defensive sorties flown throughout the battle - yes or no? If no why not - with documentation.
Provide some documentation showing that the reserves of 100 octane were considered far too low to be used.
Otherwise everything you say is pure, unsupported conjecture and speculation, based on your wishful thinking that RAF wartime operations can be analysed by comparing them with modern peacetime civilian operational standards.
