the counting of stockpiles
Yeah the same folks with the same "evidence" and agenda also used the same method of looking at stockpiles to "prove" 100/150 grade fuel was the "standard" fuel of the RAF.

All so that people's favorite WWII computer game-shape could be altered to give them an advantage. Nothing at all to do with serious historical research, just gamers wishing.

The truth and the history of 100/150 grade use turned out to be vastly different from what was presented despite the fact England did have significant stockpiles of the fuel in anticipation of widespread use that never occurred.

Nobody has denied that 100 grade was used during the BoB. The extent is what is in question. The only direct evidence from the RAF of the extent of usage we have states quite clearly "selected" units and "those units involved".

That is the simple facts. Everything else is speculation.

I don't know and unlike some do not pretend to know the answer. I just know what the RAF documentation says on its use.

I also know I use 100 grade fuel every time I fly and that is all that matters to me!! I certainly wish it was cheaper though.

Maybe you can find some stockpiles, somewhere?
