Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite
WWII Naval Training was created by carnaby
Colin's link to 'Built to Endure' prompted me to investigate the Postscript site. Big mistake - some very interesting books there. One which caught my eye was:
Hostilities Only available from just a fiver.
I purchased this (full price) a couple of years ago. It is a unique book which describes the massive training programme for the Wartime Royal Navy. Excellent detail, photos, and references: also good sections on the training bases, and the FAA. The Amazon link lets you browse.
It was through this work that I discovered the Synthetic Training 'Master' list in TNA. When I got that item I discovered a slip of paper inside which was the author's document slip - inadvertently left there. At least it proved he had accessed the document
.
Brian Lavery is curator at the National Maritime Museum, and respected author. I can't speak too highly of this volume.

Graham, just added to your commission
I cracked - besides the wife's Dad was a CPO so I can read it and give it to her as a Birthday present.
