Don McIntyre Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 F11 sounds like the NATO designation for a particular variety of Jet Fuel. Not sure about 100, Octane maybe, if it's at a field that services piston-engine aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonM Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Is it F/11? If so it’s to designate F (Fighter Command) / 11 Group. It’s been about 40years since 8 last built the set. As for the 100 that indicates 100 octane petrol, originally introduced for the RR Merlin fitted in Spitfires and Hurricanes, it was the used for other aero engines as well.

Orion Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hello Don and Gordon, Thanks for your response. I did note: 100 is octane petrol for piston engines F-11 is indication for (Fighter Command) 11 Group. I appreciated your input on this matter. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands.
