BCATP/EATS
Hi Tony (and other Diggers who might read this!):
I was chewing on the difference in names and it strikes me that it may have been something as simple as Canada preferred the term British Commonwealth to the term Empire and 'Scheme' was adopted because EATP didn't sound as good as EATS (or even that the Canucks didn't want "Bee CATS" as an acronym. I bow to air force scholars for the true answer to this starnge use of two names for what was in essence the same training plan. Cheers from sunny Florida (a diving holiday that has seen me diving on M60A3 tanks at 65 feet... a US Army artificial reef full of big grouper or potato cod as the Aussies call 'em!) Mike
