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

[Glider]

I should add that I have looked at most of the squadron record of units that formed after May 1940 and that I checked their records up to May 1941. In none of those records was there any mention of converting to 100 octane or CS props.

This has two impacts
1) As the papers state for the 7th meeting confirm that the units concerned had been stocked with 100 octane then it was the norm, that the units formed after May started with 100 Octane so why should they mention it.
2) If the role out had been halted as per pips and Kurfursts belief and restarted in September, then this would have shown in the squadron records.

I can only say that the case for the 100% use of 100 octane in the BOB is a strong one, not a perfect one. However there is no evidence to say that any unit went into combat in the BOB using 87 octane.

There will always be those that doubt but they cannot support their position apart from making the most of the chink of doubt left in peoples mind.

Its also worth repeating that I have been all through the Air Minestry files, the Oil Co ordination Committee file, the Chief of the Air Staffs papers both committee and private files and of course the War Cabinet file. None of these have any mention of a halting of the role out, of any shortage or any restart. If anyone believes that RAF squadrons went into combat using 87 octane then prove it.
