I have tried the above mentioned "long" F fingerings using either the Ab or A keys on several instruments including Leblanc LL, Older R13, B&H 926 and Selmer series 9 but found they just do not work for me. The Ab version is always very flat and the A version although sharper is still too low to be useable.
My experiments with long F indicates that the needed vent hole to get it at correct pitch is the lower side (Bb) trill key.
Problem is to get to it !!!
(rested bell on knee and operated key with RH thumb !)
Still trying to think of a simple additional mechanism to lift this trill key, maybe something like an oboe 3rd octave key?
The conventional long F can be faked by "leaking" a very small aperture on lower edge of LH 3rd finger (about 1/8th holing) but tuning is very critical on size of the "leak".
For altissimo Bb I find the following fingering works very well and in tune
sp Ab xxx F/C | xxx Ab/Eb
and it works equally well on non-articulated instrument too.
