I don't pretend to know the size of the tanks on Bomber Command aircraft but can safely assume that they are a lot bigger than a SE fighter.

The question I have is simple, do you agree that they would have used 87 octane until late August / September when they were allowed to use 100 Octane as per the paper I posted?

Edit
For the period 10 May to 25th June BC undertook approx 5,100 sorties
The heat is rising again because we have had exactly this same "conversation" before. Crumpp has had people take the time to explain very carefully where his reasoning is flawed, yet he is parroting exactly the same stuff again as though he hasn't bothered absorbing anything that's been presented. Why should any of us waste any more time on this inanity?

Anyway the only info I can find on the fuel capacity of British bombers/Coastal Command aircraft is:
Vickers-Armstrong Wellington = 750 imp gallons Whitley, probably similar; Hampden about the same as Blenheim?

Short Sunderland = 2,550 imp gal

And I still want the the url for the thread on 100/150 grade fuel, and not just Crumpp/Barbi's interpretation.
