"According to RAF" ... no words. Please quote a primary source that says that.

In case your opinion is based on Pilot's Notes General, 2nd Edition Part I Note A "Flying Limitations", Section 1 "Introduction", Paragraph (IV) it is not correct. This Paragraph IV does only apply to "Flying Limitations", which are handled in Part I Note A of the manual and are the following:
- Limiting Speeds
- Limiting Weights
- Manoeuvres not Permitted
- Normal Acceleration or g
- Flying in Bumpy Air
- C.G. Limits

This regulation does not apply to Part II Note A "Engine Limitations", which has it's own regulations.

Anyone can check this here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/40498672/A...dition-UK-1943

Anyway this is a manual from 1943. Pilot's Notes General 1st Edition from 1941 does not contain this regulation, in the contrary the 1st Edition clearly states 100 octane as requirements for use of cut-out (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...0&d=1334727256, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...1&d=1334727263). We are talking about combat reports from 1940.

But this has already been discusses. Why don't you just provide a primary source that really supports your claim and is not quoted out of context? Would be much less tiresome for everyone.
