The Flag Officer, Flying Training, later called Flag Officer Naval Flying Training, was a senior Royal Navy appointment responsible for all naval aviation flying training from 1945 to 1970.
History
Vice-Admiral Lumley Lyster held the post of Flag Officer Carrier Training and Administration from its establishment on April 27, 1943, to September 1945. In September 1945, Vice-Admiral Lyster hauled down his flag and his post was abolished. Instead three separate admirals' posts supervising different areas of naval aviation training were created. One of them was the appointment of Flag Officer, Flying Training. The post was abolished in 1970.
The officer holder reported to the Flag Officer, Air (Home) from 1945 to 1964 then the Flag Officer Naval Air Command from 1964 to 1970.
