Because his service record is still with the MOD there won't be many details about his service in the RAF online at the moment. Your best bet is to research the units you know he served with, starting perhaps, with 223 Squadron and move on to 100 Group. There are plenty of books, and at least two contemporary articles (from 1944 ad 1945) which give details about the work of 100 Group. Incidentally, RCM stands for Radio Counter Measures.
Flight magazine 16 Nov 1944 and
Flight magazine 5 Dec 1945 This article continues here
