Seeing Hurri600’s post regarding 2FTS has prompted me to dig out one I picked up years ago from a jumble sale.
Its recorded as No3 Flight, No 2 Squadron, 10 ITW, RAF June 1941, has anyone any info on where this was likely to have been taken and what the training was likely to have been on.
There’s a few signatures on the back, but time has not been kind to them.
Thanks

No. 10 Initial Training Wing (ITW), was formed at the Grand Hotel, Scarborough, on 13 Feb 1940. It disbanded, still at the same location, on 18 Jun 45. It was responseible for the training of pilots, navigators and bomb aimers immediately prior to their flying training I believe.
