So I'll issue the challenge again and again, until you answer it or admit that your contention is unsupported by the historical record.

I'm still waiting for a reply.

Neither of these posts demonstrates that RAF FC flew a even single Hurricane/Spitfire combat sortie using 87 octane fuel.

Where are the reports detailing fuelling difficulties because a 100/87 octane aircraft had to land at an 87/100 octane airfield? Where are the Airfield/Squadron commander/pilot reports complaining that their Airfield/squadron/aircraft was one of the unlucky ones not to be converted to 100 octane? Where are the pilot reports or memoirs noting 87 octane fuel use during the battle? Why do numerous sources state 100% conversion to 100 octane prior to the battle? Why did Moelders and Galland beg Goering for higher performing aircraft?

You still haven't shown that even a single Hurricane/Spitfire combat sortie was flown using 87 octane fuel during the battle, yet you contend that the majority of RAF FC was using 87 octane fuel!!!
