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

In what way there is an evidence of the change of plan? A request is not a change in plans, though I would not rule out at all or most of these 21 Stations were eventually approved.

The problem is of coure there were a total of 51 fighter bases (19 Sector stations, 32 Fighter stations) from which British fighters operated during BoB.
And up to 21 out of 51 that may or may not have been approved is less then half in any case.

Well if we look at it that way its

Pips sourced posting,
the fact that the 18 May 1940 and previous papersspeaks that only select Stations are supplied with 100 octane,
the fact that you admitted that this was not revised,
and the fact that the vast majotity of the fuel consumed was steadily 87 octane until the end of September 1940 (in agreement with Pips)
Spitfire II and other manuals listing both 87 and 100 octane ratings

vs.

your unsupported mere belief.

Do you have the post May 1940 files or only the ones you have posted? You seem to tend to evade that question constantly.
