The only interesting thing that I picked up was that there was a serious shortage of 100 Octane Fuel, serious enough to start impacting operations in the period May to August 1944 (not 1940).
Emergency measures were taken such as switching RAF squadrons which had US radial engines to US 90 octane fuel and a temporary dip below the previously set strategic minimum reserve level. Once the invasion was firm and the pressure eased the situation returned to normal.
There was one file I was after which they couldn't find and another that I had high hopes of, that only had one sheet of paper in it. Its unlikely that I will get to visit again until October.
Kurfurst, How did you get on finding evidence of the May 1940 meetings that support Pips posting?
