FAA flying training 1940-41

At what RAF schools were FAA candidates undertaking EFT and SFT in the UK in 1940-41?

Re: FAA flying training 1940-41

Source: Gilbert S. Guinn and G.H. Bennett, British Naval Aviation in World War II, The US Navy and Anglo-American Relations. London:2012, I.B. Tauris.

No 9 EFTS, RAF Anstey nr. Coventry, (p.38)
No 28 EFTS, Wolverhampon (p. 39)
No 29 EFTS, RAF Clyffe, Pypard, Wilts. (p.43)

FAA reluctance to use EFTS for RAF-style grading (p.92)

The book suggests that FAA would-be trainees were seeded throughout RAF EFTS.

This book, despite its title, is concerned with FAA training in the US.
