Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[Glider]

I will do this justice tomorrow but in the meantime

a) are you confirming that what PIP posted is your belief as to what happened
b) where you say I admitted that this was not revised, can you point me to the posting.

re (b) I am not doubting you, I just want to avoid a misunderstanding as a lot has been said.

Speak to you tomorrow

It seems to me a reasonable and honest and referenced account based on archival documentations as to what happened from someone who does not seem to have a stake involved. It also fits well into the papers you posted. In short, yes.

b) where you say I admitted that this was not revised, can you point me to the posting.

David I've asked you literally dozens of times if you know of a paper that had revised the 18 May (and preceeding) decision about select/concerned/certain, ie. limited number of Squadrons being involved. You have never asnwered to that, that's just as good as admittence in my book.

In all the documentation Neil and you publicly provided, there's a huge gap between May and August 1940. And let's be frank about it, both of you are fanatic about the subject, and that's exactly the timeframe Pips was talking about YEARS before you found that paper.

That's some food for thought isn't it. I am pretty sure of two things: that you weren't running out of battery in your camera when you got there, and if it would revise the 18 May paper in a way positive to you and say that all Sqns gonna use 100 octane, it would be posted all over the place.

See ya tomorrow.
