An interesting read and far be it for me to gossip but.....
Fuel was always a problem even though after MOGAS (motor gasoline) for the Rapier units, AVGAS for the FOB was a top priority. At its peak the FOB dispensed over 50,000 litres of fuel per and supported nearly 120 aircraft movements per day.
That is an awful lot of petrol... I know our RAF pilots like to take their sports cars with them whenever they deploy but 50,000litres of petrol per day
In my day AVGAS = petrol
A great thread and PLEASE accept my attempt at humour for what it is... You are probably correct and I am just confused
