A.P. 129 RAF Flying Training Manual, Part I - Landplanes

[Crumpp]

general notes are not aircraft specific?

It specifically says in engine limitations, Paragraph 3(ii):

"These figure provide a general guideline to the reasonable use of the engine. In combat and emergency other considerations may justify the pilot in disregarding these limitations"

You cannot look at a combat report that used an overboost condition as proof of 100 Octane fuel use.

Give it up Crumpp, all of your painfully nonsensical assumptions about 16 squadrons, based on pre war documents blah blah blah are a nonsense, as the Official War History Oil proves:









"The pre-war activity had been based on the assumption that United States supplies would be denied Britain in the event of war....there was no anxiety in these early months about the prospects of supply."

Protest all you like Crumpp, make all the unproven assertions you want - just give up and stop wasting everyone's time, including your own.

Let's look at the full Paragraph 3:



"these restrictions" in the context of the paragraph related to the "Duration and Flight Condition" restriction of the engine limitations. For example a pilot may use combat power for longer than 5 minutes or use combat power to climb to operational height in combat or emergency.
I'm afraid this quote does not support your theory.
