CONSUMPTION.
We have been over it before Glider.

I know what it means it terms of strategic logistics. Because you don't accept it does not make it not true or invalid.

Once again, you are all trying really hard to disprove the fact the Battle of Britain was transitional time period and we need to have more information.

There is not any new developments and you are all posting the same old logistical documentation like it is new or changes the picture.

Identify the RAF FC squadrons that were using 87 octane fuel and the RAF FC squadrons using 100 octane fuel in Sept 1940.

Can't do that, then just so much bovine manure from you.

When i look at this picture:

i see that in june 1940 336000 tons of 100 octane fuel were supposed to be used
336000 tons would be 10584000 gallons
used by about 700 fighters that would be 151200 gallons per fighter
Average consumption for the Merlin mostly climbing would be about 75 gallons/h, so we get 2016 h flight time for each fighter.
Divided by 30 days that would give about 67,2 h a day flight time.
Now, where is the error?

Or are this only the stocks?

I am afraid old son that you are a busted flush.

Stocks = Stocks i.e. what is stockpiled

Consumption = consumption i.e. what has been used.

What exactly is so difficult to understand

Trying to pretend that consumption is some form of reserve in a different place is plainly false, unless you can explain what fuel the UK was using. After all it had to come from somewhere.

PS I repeat the question about full conversion of FC to 100 Octane in May 1941, its a simple statement that you made, without any pressure and a simple question.

What do you have to support this statement?

You would expect far more from me if I made such a statement, so its only fair.

To not reply to such simple questions is in your words amaturish.

I guess you're blind then... as I have repeatedly shown you "things that override the operational documentation"
What about:

and
http://www.spitfireperformance.com/no74-100oct.jpg
and:

According to you 100 octane use is forbidden on the Spitfire I.

How is that we have whole squadrons running on 100 octane well before the BofB, and how is it the manual you claim is from July 1940 mentions the use of the Merlin II that went out of production in 1939?
