The meeting notes you posted seem to confirm that Bomber command was using 100 Octane in the Blenheim's.
However it clearly states that Fighter Command was still not clear whether or not 100 Octane could even be used in Hurricane and Spitfire aircraft.

OTOH, it shows clearly that the Merlin III could be run for long periods of time at 12lb/3000rpm. 10 hours in 1938 engines and 20 hours in later engines.

Yeah...that is the times from the endurance trials, Seadog. It was 10 hours total time. That 10 hours at +12lbs was 5 minutes at a time with a 20 minute rest period in-between. It was not 10 hours straight at +12lbs....
