Having trouble with this record, can anyone help?

Can anyone help me with this record. I an not sure what 3 GTF/GTS is, my first thought was glider Training Squadron/flight, but were there any Glider training schools in March 1941? Geoff was a Wellington pilot and it would appear he only lasted a week in this unit before he was KiA!

Hello,

Just a shot in the dark.

Could it be

No.3 Group Target Tow Flight ?

shortened with one "T".

GTS. Glider Training School / Squadron
GTF. Gunner Training Flight.

This has been the subject of discussion on three forums!! Between everyone the mystery has been solved. Geoff was at 3 Group Training Flight based at Stradishall. Shot down while ferrying Wellingtons to the Middle EAst.
Thanks everyone for your help.

The first Slingsby T.6 Kirby Kite gliders were delivered to the RAF in 1940. The Slingsby T.3 Dagling gliders were delivered soon after that.
