SCHUYT EXERCISE
Johnnie , further to my previous note on this subject , i can now add the following ,
Their was in indeed 3 SCHUYT EXERCISES that took place in MAY 1942 , sadly the third exercise was cancelled for what reason i do not know , also note the spelling as above is correct .
The whole thing was organised by COMBINED OPERATIONS for a fuller explantion of COMBINED OPS visit the Site already mentioned http://www.combinedops.com . a lot of the content on this site was provided by me .
very basically COMBINED OPERATIONS WAS ALL 3 SERVICE’S WORKING AS A SINGLE FIGHTING FORCE .
THE SCHUYT EXERCISES PROVIDED ,occasions for active co operation between the three service’s
The RAF sqd crews ,WERE GIVEN instruction in the aspects and processes of COMBINED OPERATIONS ,before taking part in the SCHUYT EXERCISE’S , sadly due to the CANCELLATION of the SCHUYT 3 EXERCISE the third batch of SQD CREWS MISSED THIER PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE .
i have a monthly progress report from COMBINED TRAINING CENTRE DUNDONALD FOR MAY 42 which mentions the exercise’s , but it does not state what the EXERCISE consisted off , if you want a copy of the report let me know of site and i will send you a copy
please may i also ask , if it would be possible to obtain a copy of the flying log of which you speak , just the pages relating to the EXERCISE ?
HOPE THIS HELP PHILL JONES
