Jim Glazebrook and RCAF Station Charlottetown

Hello,

I just finished the short autobiography of Jim Glazebrook, Someone to Watch Over Me. He trained at NAS Pensacola and served in 206 squadron hunting U-boats.
After US Navy training he posted to RCAF Station Charlottetown at Prince Edward Island were as he writes

In the early part of the war, the Coastal Command flying boat squadrons did not have separate navigators. A flying boat on patrol would have three pilots, one of which in turn would act as navigator, so we now also had to qualify as navigators. On Prince Edward Island I learned navigation aboard the mark 1 Anson, the undercarriage of which had to be wound up by hand…

I want to ask you this ''Navigator training'' was from the No. 32 Air Navigation School RAF, RCAF Station Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island or from No. 31 General Reconnaissance School also at RCAF Station Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island ???

Thanks in advance
