RCM = Radio Countermeasures. Usually jamming, spoofing, etc to keep the defences confused.

RCM is Radio CounterMeasures . The Halifaxes would have been part of 100 Group involved in jamming operations of radio frequencies used for fighter direction. Search for AirbourneCigar (Usually referred to as ABC), or Jostle.

If 608 did not re-equip with B.XVIs until Mar 45 (Moyes in Bomber Squadrons of the RAF), 8T-V seems to have racked up an impressive number of sorties in a very short time.

Looking around on the net on this subject I found and example of a pilot doing 14 ops in 26 days. I suppose on Maximum effort periods the aircraft few every night until unservicable, though not necessarily with the same crew.
