You are of course correct but I was also forgetting Leeming. So that makes five BFTS's flying JP3's and JP4's plus Cranwell. Just because Linton was training FAA did not mean it was not largely staffed by the RAF. I did my Advanced Flying Training at Linton on Vampires along with Naval fixed wing BFTS students on JP's and Naval Helicopter pilots doing 70 hours on Chipmunks.

Made for an intersting circuit at times with all three types at different speeds and heights.
