Now, where is the error?

Ummm....you forgot about the other RAF commands using 100 octane as it had become the main fuel for operational units so it was being used by bombers too.

Wasn't only the 2nd groups Blenheims using it in the outer tanks for take off and escaping?

Well they were ordered late 1938 so by late 1939 one can guess everything switched to 100 octane (the conversion to use 100 octane is not exactly a staggering piece of engineering achievement) but so far that is a guess, I also believe bomber command was cleared for the use of 100 octane in 1940.

Crumpp's theory on BoB being a transitional period is daft, the fuel transition was complete by the start, the only transition was the introduction of new marks of Spitfire.
