No. 231 Operational Conversion Unit RAF
No. 231 Operational Conversion Unit was a Royal Air Force Operational Conversion Unit.
==Operational history==
231 OCU first formed in the aftermath of World War II during March 1947 at RAF Coningsby. Initially the OCU was formed from a nucleus provided by No. 16 OTU and was tasked with training crews of the "wooden wonder", the De Havilland Mosquito, in the light bomber and photo reconnaissance roles. Initial operational equipment was provided by Mosquito III and Mosquito B.XVI aircraft. In this role the unit lasted nearly three years before disbanding on 4 December 1949.〔 Sturtivant, 1997, p. 232〕
In keeping with its previous role when the OCU reformed in December 1951 it was to train light bomber crews. The aircraft used during the rest of the unit's operational service was the English Electric Canberra and most operational versions of that versatile aircraft were flown by the unit. It was reformed at RAF Bassingbourn and moved around various stations including RAF Bassingbourn, RAF Cottesmore and RAF Marham during its operational existence. It was redesignated the ''Canberra Standardisation Training Flight'' on 15 December 1990, but reverted to 231 OCU on 13 May 1991.〔Sturtivant, 1997, p. 232〕
