Just so there isn't any confusion what is your belief re 100 Octane in France?

AFAIK Hurricane Squadrons used it, not that it helped them that much, given the results of the campaign. I don't think it has any relevance for BoB, given that all the fuel in France was either destroyed by the British or captured by the Germans.

[bongodriver]

are you saying all available 100 octane was lost in France?

[Kurfürst]

Obviously no, it's what you are suggesting.

What I am suggesting is that the fact that some Squadrons were using it over France is irrelevant until we know how and if they were supplied with 100 octane fuel once their remnants returned to England.

Where does that failed logic come from? I suggested nothing...merely asked a question.

until we know how and if they were supplied with 100 octane fuel once their remnants returned to England.

How and if are redundant questions, if it was available in France then it 'will' have been available on the homeland, if Hurricanes were already using it then they would have continued to do so, there is no evidence of any retrograde steps in that area.

If they were using 87 Octane in the BoB, a tiny bit of evidence should have turned up by now. Instead we have a lawyer doing the Chewbacca defence.

Actually we only have a handful of raffanatics doing the good old character assassination campaign, because they can't come up with anything better, mental or material, as they lack in both.

I like the 'if' part of the reply. Kurfursts view is that the RAF did use 100 octane in France to defend France, but the RAF may not have used it to defend the UK.

A novel thought I admit.

If that was the case surely there would be reports of performance during battle of France and how it compared once supply was restricted during battle of Britain? I haven't seen any comments on this marked change in aircraft performance and how the RAF was suddenly on a back foot.
