Actually the 35,816 tons of 100 Octane consumed was used to cook sausages and eggs and and toast lots of Crumppets.

(He used exactly the same arguments against the RAF using 100/150 grade fuel - Crumpp, who doesn't know the differences between fuel reserves, fuel issued and fuel consumed, likes to believe that the RAF specialised in storing fuel reserves of high grade aviation fuel like squirrels and never using the stuff, unlike the generous Germans who used high octane fuel like it was water.)

LOL!

But be carful what you say 'here' because Kurfurst might use your quote at 'wiki' as source of proof as to why 100 octane was not aval for Spits and Hurris

Crump wouldn't happen to fly blue by any chance would he?

He actully claims (or at least did) he plays NO PC games what so ever..

Which IMHO is funny, in an odd way, either way you look at it (true or false)

[Osprey]

In that case why would he hang around a gaming forum disagreeing with majority opinion without evidence......

S!

This fuel testing is done today also every day to ensure that no contaminants or similar enter the plane. Sure the methods are a bit better though. Leave out the smack talk etc. and this thread is very interesting.

Bingo!

That is one of the 'funny' thing I was referring too..

I am sure he considers it some sort of 'duty' on his part to set things right in the simmer world! Because god knows a guy with a pilot's license trumps anything said by a guy without a pilot's license! Some (most?) pilots are funny like that! Which reminds me of a little joke..

If your in a room full of people..

Question.. Do you know how to tell who are the pilots in the room?
Answer.. Easy, they are the ones that during any introduction point out they are pilots

Example

You: Hi my name is Dave what is your name?
Pilot: Hello my name is Eugene, I am a pilot!

The wristwatch. It's the wristwatch that's the giveaway. Every time.

Cool! I'ld better start mentioning it a bit more often. Did you know I've got a ..... Hang on! Do you need a current medical certificate??????

Just as an aside, What was the storage life for the fuel, (both 100 and 87 Octaine)? Less than a year? Modern fuels degrade over time (visibly noticable by the gums and varnishes that seperate from the fuel and discolour it) and would cause all sorts of issues in use. The Fuel companies advise not keeping fuel stored for any great length of time.

I would assume they would have used some sort of rolling reserve system that as new shipments of fuel would be put into storage and the older stock sent out to be used. Does anyone know how they managed their fuel reserves?
