"Rhodesian Air Trg Gp" from 13-Aug '43 and then from 2/2/44 "26 Elementary Flg Trg Sch" as a Staff Nav (with RATG in the GRP. column - not sure what this means?).
MPN11 has pointed out what RATG is in his #11876. As regards "26 Elementary Flg Trg Sch" (26 EFTS) this was located at Guinea Fowl not far from Thornhill, Gwelo (Gweru), in the "Midlands" of S. Rhodesia during WW2.
Later Guinea Fowl was used as a relief landing ground for 5 FTS (RAF Thornhill) aircraft doing circuits and bumps whilst I was based at RAF Thornhill between 1951-53.
