Yes some of the JP's went to Leeming and the Dominies to Finningley. Throughput of Pilots for Refresher Flying halved - though that might have been because of the PCL.
Instead of a dedicated Refresher Flying Unit for Fixed Wing aircraft the RAF ended up with a total hotchpotch of different "solutions" and a far lower standard of training.
PS The Unit did operate Meteors at one time but even I am not old enough to remember that.
PPS Just found a reference re the use of Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF(T)14s for the Staff Navigation Courses.
