You would be limited in the extreame. Little more than an over emphasised minute from one meeting, an operating manual for an engine that had been out of production some time before the BOB and not a lot more

You see that's your problem. You desperately try to support a fantasy by spamming a lot of irrevelant papers that do not even support your case, while all I need to is to produce about 5 papers which clearly support my case.

Now I agree that doesn't automatically mean that I am right, but the burden of proof is on you to support your case with facts not theories.

There's no theory here but facts. Fact is that the RAF originally meant to support a limited number of fighter Squadrons, fact is that the only paper available shows they did convert a limited number of fighter Squadrons by May 1940, fact is that full clearance was not given until August and fact is that fuel issues show the majority of the fuel issued during the Battle was 87 octane, fact is that evidence of 100 octane use only exist for about 1/3 of the Fighter stations, and even many of those only towards the end of the Battle.

I have said many times that the case for is a strong one not a perfect one but its a heck of a lot better than he case that you have

Despite that perception of yours most people here handle your theory with a great deal of scepticism.
