"No.19 BFTS" at Cranwell in 1978

I have just found a copy of an old magazine which states that the Flying Wing of the RAFC Cranwell was named "No.19 BFTS" between August and October 1978. The article goes on to say that either later in the year or the beginning of 1979, 21 Jet Provosts (probably T Mk.5As) were taken out of store at Kemble and transferred to either Cranwell or Barkston Heath because of an "increased training commitment"

Can anyone please recall why it was called "No.19 BFTS" or what the increased training commitment involved?
