New article name goes here new article content ... No. 17 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Unit was formed at R.A.F. Watton in Norfolk on 29 January 1942. Its role was to train pilots that had completed their initial flying training overseas, usually in Canada, Australia, South Africa and Rhodesia, and familiarise them with flying conditions in the U.K. and western Europe, and on the types of aircraft they were likely to fly operationally.^[1]

This (P) A.F.U. operated Miles Magister and Master aircraft, as well as Avro Ansons, and Hawker Hurricanes.

It disbanded on 1 February 1944 at R.A.F. Calverley.
