Ah yes, i did read about that at an other forum, very interesting read indeed.
Haha Kurfurst pawned again on 100 octane fuel.

rules for arguing with Kurfurst.

you have to show absolute proof, he can interpret what he wants and it becomes fact (in his mind anyway).

its to funny.

There's no reference to where they got the 384 in 19 squadrons from.
Interesting link winny, thanks for sharing! Just as significant as the passage you quoted is this one in my opinion:
"Bulk supply contracts for higher octane fuel were placed by the Air Ministry and it was put into widespread use in the RAF in March 1940 when Spitfires' Rolls Royce Merlin engines were converted to use the 100 octane fuel."
This seems in agreement with other published sources, such as the one below from A. R. Ogston, although your earlier posting did show units converting in February 1940.
