It is not the case that it was planned for and did not work. It was not in the plan and simply not available. They were able to communicate for this purpose in 21st Army Group, so there is no reason to suppose that it could not have been tried. The fact is that the air chiefs did not want to risk 2 TAF aircraft in the operation and it was too far for UK based close air support.
