Most if not all front line fighter air bases received 100 octane fuel. Douglas Bader Biography wrote about the main issues as well as many RAf fighter pilots documented the configuration.

Hello King, perhaps you haven't read properly what I've written. I said exactly what you're saying.

So I guess your the only one supplying 1c with your data which I have never seen.

I am confused. Why are saying this? If you notice, I am actually stating that all the planes in the game should be filled up with 100 octanes unless we want some very early pre BoF versions.
As for the documents, I have got Spitfire Mk.I pilot's notes (few versions with updates etc.), Merlin III manual, Merlin II too actually, good source of detailed info is Merlin in perspective - the combat years (Alec Harvey-Bailey). I am not sure if I can publish scans from copyrighted materials, I'd say not. In this book, interesting information about Merlins page 2-207, page 155 Merlin III ratings in developement, page 134-135 comparsion of British fighters to Bf 109 109 with a speed and performance chart (as appendix V to the discussion on page 71), page 85 is about Merlin and 100 octane fuel. Hope that helped.
