Firstly, I want to thank Glider, NZTyphoon, Banks and Lane for coming in here to lance this historical boil. I have no problem with Kurfurst having an opinion but what alarms me is when it may affect other's opinions on history due to his agenda driven bias. It's all very well being on this forum but it actually disgusts me that this man sees fit to edit Wikipedia with his theories which are at odds with the painstakingly researched work of proper historians who seek the real answers, agenda free. I found it annoying enough that he wishes to pad his online stats by trying to negatively influence the flight model of his online enemy, that affects the hobby I enjoy enough - but to deliberately doctor popular information websites to suit his agenda is a disgrace.
@Tomcat, regarding your fighter question. The RAAF didn't operate in the Battle of Britain, only some Australian pilots did along with Kiwi pilots such as Al Deere. They made their own way to the UK and joined the RAF flying the same aircraft in British squadrons. The point being made here though is nothing to do with what the RAAF used, but the fact that the Australian government did not deal with the UK government in order to obtain their fuel and that this is contrary to Kurfursts long standing opinion which he will not move from and tells everybody that he can that it's the truth.
What you are seeing from Kurfurst is very bad science who clearly has an agenda which is contrary to finding out the truth. He can draw you as many graphs as he likes but the bottom line is that he's having strong evidence shoved in front of him and is still arguing about it. Did you know that 99% of people in prison are not guilty? It's the same mentality.
