I was going to leave that for a dedicated article at some later stage but happy to link it for now to
Air Force Training Group RAAF, of which it was the precursor.
I would expect the first link to Essendon (formed at Essendon, Victoria,) to be to the city, and the airport link to be given at " Essendon aerodrome".
Good point, will do.
"Flying doctor Clyde Fenton," - this sentence seems like a non-sequitur. Why pick out this instructor over any others, one man out of 50? If his article is correct, he was the first flying doctor in the Northwest Territory - perhaps say something like "Clyde Fenton, previously the first flying doctor of the Northwest Territory," or something, to give a better feeling of notability, if this is why he is included.
Heh, yes, bit lazy there -- will think of something to elaborate.
"King was posted to command No. 5 EFTS" Do we know who took over from him?
We do, I just restricted it to King as the notable one (in WP as well as real-world terms).
Article says that 200 men were graduated by late 1940. Do we know how many went through the program the entire time it was in operation?
OK, everything looks good, so I'm passing the article to GA. It would still be nice to have some further detail in a couple of spots, but I completely understand if sources are thin on the ground :) Thanks for the quick work,

Thank you, Dana. I think I've trawled all available sources, so unless someone writes a book on the EFTSs, the only other thing will be when/if the National Archives gets round to digitising the unit's operations record book...! Cheers,
