Then explain why Dowding found it necessary on 1 August 1940 to send a memo to All Groups, ALL Fighter Stations and ALL fighter squadrons stating that +12 lbs boost
Well one day, all those units will be equipped with 100 Octane. It is not proof that all of the operational units were using it. Why put the word out on something like the information in that memo piecemeal?

What is proof that that 100% of the operational units were NOT using is the Notes on a Merlin Engine found in the Operating Notes.

That is a fact.
