Gaining an RAF pilots brevet in ww2

Petet---I assume PACT courses were instituted when there was still perceived to be a shortage of aircrew.
This was not of course the case in 44 and maybe I read that when Churchill found out about the surplus there was a sharp reduction instituted in the training pipeline.Evidence of this was the closing of some of the US and Canadian schools even before VE Day
While I dont think I have seen it mentioned much in this thread wasnt Harrogate full of trained pilots in 44 and on?
