Just as you do.

you have totally changed my mind with that stunning evidence.

What he is saying it is no different than you taking evidence and reading only what you want to see.

The BoB was a transition period and the extent of use depends on the date you pick for the battle to end.

I don't understand the obsession anyway. It was summertime during the battle and the envelope for high manifold pressure/high rpm is greatly reduced. In fact, it will result in poorer performance than a lower manifold pressure/rpm under such conditions.

I believe the evidence was presented that 100 Octane made less of a difference in the battle than CSP's.

Look at the paper performance on a standard day, it is quite an improvement. Why do you think that was not so stunning an improvement in the air?

High density altitude conditions of summer is why!!

So are you now trying to blame the performance increase on the English weather?

Which is what Crumpp does all the time.

Yep, the B of B was a transition from all frontline fighter units of FC using 100 Octane fuel to all Commands using 100 octane, and when the Battle ended, 31 October or May 1941, is immaterial.

You claim to be a pilot but do not understand the differences in summer and winter performance?

Density altitude effects?

If you had experienced an english summer you would know what I am talking about.

They are variable, you need to experience five or six to begin to get a feeling. This one is wet so far, but there are some months yet to go. I think it was 1978 that was hot and dry. They are all different.

Yeah, summer in England is typically a "standard day"...

These are the mean highs and lows for July - Oct 1940 for Lowestoft:

yyyy mm tmax tmin af rain sun

1940 7 20.2 11.0 0 157.6 211.3
1940 8 20.5 10.8 0 19.1 ---
1940 9 18.2 9.0 0 27.7 170.1
1940 10 13.9 7.6 0 37.8 ---

As you can see the mean temp for July-Aug is about 15.5c, Sept about 13.6c and 10.75c for Oct.
Southhampton:
1940 7 20.2 11.7 0 98.3 208.0 (mean = 15.9)
1940 8 22.1 12.1 0 0.0 238.1 ( Mean = 17.1)
1940 9 19.4 9.3 0 41.4 193.1 (Mean = 13.35)
1940 10 14.1 7.6 0 115.8 112.9 (Mean = 10.9)


And for Oxford:
1940 7 20.5 11.1 0 61.0 165.1
1940 8 22.1 11.1 0 1.8 199.5
1940 9 19.2 8.6 0 24.1 179.5
1940 10 13.9 6.0 1 67.1 95.5

Ross on Wye:
1940 7 19.7 10.5 0 72.8 166.8
1940 8 21.1 10.3 0 6.6 207.1
1940 9 18.6 7.3 0 18.0 183.6
1940 10 13.2 5.8 2 107.0 65.4

data from:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/stationdata/

But only a limited number of stations have data for 1940.

Pray tell us; where does the 100 octane deniers club meet?
