4 RTP Martlesham Heath in 19939

[notapilotjon]

My fathers RAF records so that he was sent to 4 RTP in 1939. I can't find any records showing what 4 RTP was. Can anyone tell me what 4 RTP was please?

TIA

RAF Slang and Acronyms (rafaberporth.org.uk) lists RTPs 1 to 7 with locations but omits No 4. The link has loads of useful acronyms etc.
