I have read loadsa memoirs from BoB pilots and have NEVER read anywhere in any of them about a pilot complaining along the lines of "Ran into a bunch of 109s/110s and couldnt catch them because we were using crappy low octane fuel".
I think if any BoB fighter squadrons in 11 group had been forced to use the low octane juice there would of been a stampede of squadron leaders knocking at fighter commands door complaining, and if that had happened and the prime minister (who had a full understanding of the importance of the BoB) had heard about it heads would have rolled.
Arghhh I really didnt want to get into this troltrap,I wish I hadnt posted but when someone is wrong on the internet you cant let them get away with it can you .
