The key points here are:-
i) The Committee took note that the position of the use of this fuel in Hurricane and Spitfire aircraft had been made clear to Fighter Command.
ii) Satisfaction was expressed that the units concerned had been stocked with the 100 Octane Fuel
iii) The Minutes were to reflect the appreciation of the work of the Petroleum Board and that the Air Ministry had been impressed with the manner in which the work had been executed.

In short, the RAF recored in May 1940 that the issue of 100 octane was limited to select units.

Combat Reports
We have combat reports from over 30 squadrons showing the use of 100 Octane.

Out of 60+ Squadrons.

In addition, within these over 30 Squadrons there are duplications, when several Squadrons rotate between the same stations.

We can identify about 20-25 Stations supplied with 100 octane fuel at one time or another out of 50+.

All we have ever asked is for you to define select, which squadrons and support it so do so
