I don't understand why them rotating would make any difference. I thought that once an engine had been converted to 100 that was what they put in it, regardless of where it was stationed? Why paint 100's onto them if it didn't matter what fuel you put in?



No, you have claimed that all Squadrons were using 100 octane fuel during the Battle. You pointed to a paper that said the opposite. And then you say at least least 30 squadrons were using 100 octane, because you found combat reports. You then asked me to explain me this, despite that I already did. OK I retract the all - I stand by the fact that I can find reference to 100 octane use in at least 30 squadrons before August 1940, happy? Didn't think so.

It is you who is changing his position all the time, not me. As far as it goes, you've made two positive claims

a, All FC Sqns were using 100 octane fuel, and nothing else OK, prove me wrong.
b, Rechlin trials did not use 100 octane fuel - OK prove me wrong

The burden of proof is on you. You could prove neither. Therefore, they are unproven, insufficiently supported by documentation which was my point.
That of course does not mean that a considerably number of RAF fighters did not use 100 octane fuel - they did.

The fanboyism part starts where somebody starts to ask for only the best variants to be represented, and start to claim something extreme that all the sudden the 'poorer' variants was not used at all. I'm not interested in fanboys, at all.

I'm not changing my position, my position is that I think you're biased and wrong and that you palm off burden of proof onto me and ignore it when it applies to you, double standards. So where is your proof that the Rechlin tests were carried out with 100 octane?

In fact I'm not even sure what you're main argument is. Can you sum it up?
