Anybody have any information on the RAF's ECDU,

Electronic Countermeasures Development (Demonstration) Unit?

It appears as part of Bomber Command 92 group from late
1942 or early 1943 to mid/late 1944, flying Wellingtons and
eventually some Lancasters as well. Based at RAF Oakley.

What I am after is when it joined and left Bomber Command,
as well as what its actual function was.

I thought 92 group was for OTU ?

The references I have see indicate ECM activities being incorporated
in 100 group in November 1943

One of the major units was 223 Squadron which flew Liberators
modified for the ECM role
