Training schools didn't have 100 octane that was always the intention.
Remembering Crumpp insistance that the changes required to the aircraft/engine were extensive, its interesting to note how quickly the change over took place. On 15th Feb the squadron was released but found time to take part in some practice missions, drain the tanks for 100 Octane and the next day the squadron was available. Its also worth noting that Drem is a small satallite station with a limited infrastructure apart from day to day maintanence and fairly simple repair facilities.
