ExA,
I may very well be confusing the two. I'm only familiar with the CPTP and unaware of the British version until now.
I do know that CPTP trained foreign nationals having flown with a Cuban gentleman who learned to fly via CPTP in Indiana during the war. Fascinating history all things considered. Thanks for the info.
