The Fleet Air Arm in Commonwealth air training

What part did the Fleet Air Arm play in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan?

It was involved from the start or very early on, reflecting the urgent need to train crews for Swordfish-equipped escort carriers.

The Fleet Air Arm was effectively part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan from the beginning or very early in its operation. The arrangement connected naval aviation requirements with a much larger multinational training system. Escort carriers urgently needed Swordfish crews as the naval war expanded. Carrier aircrew production belonged to the wider Commonwealth mobilisation effort rather than a separate naval pipeline.
