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

Thanks Al: I'll go through the http://www.convoyweb.org.uk/ database as well and find out how many tankers and other ships carrying avgas were destroyed in 1940 - last time I looked a couple of years ago I could only find one Inverdagle (9456 tons) which, as Barbi mentions, was sunk by a mine in (I think) the Bristol Channel? I know that some tankers diverted to France up to May or June 1940, accounting for some of the 100 Octane fuel used there.

Regarding the Blenheim and 100 octane in the wing tanks - 14 April 1940:

Yup, that's what the pilot's handbook says for the Mk.IV.

100 octane only when the long range outer tanks are needed for take off and cruise to target, 87 octane in the inner tanks for all other cases (return from target on long range missions, or the entire mission in case of short range hops).
