You selectively quoted on purpose to expose my hyporcracy.

Brilliant.

Now why would exactly would they fuel it with 100 octane then Kurfurst? I though you said the RAF weren't using it.

Nope I've said that only select squadrons have used it.

No comment.

Sensible people can use deduction and logic anyway. ...

Osprey pulls out a shotgun with a big grin...

... The very fact that it is a 2 stage Spitfire means that it has a Merlin II and was in operation during the Battle of France, and that a Merlin II required conversion to accept 100 octane fuel and make use of 12lbs of boost in the first place. Then there is the fact that Molders doesn't mention use of the ABC which he would have had to use in order to get over 6.25lbs anyway.

... then shoots himself in the leg, twice, and finally falls into a punji. The crowd is absolutely blasted by the show.
