I found two nice profiles for your consideration. Bremner of No. 486 and Umbers of No. 3 Sqd:

Umbers was killed as C/O of 486 (heart-breaking description of it in Sheddan's book), so should his Tempest not be an SA code rather than JF (which is No. 3 Squadron)?

The artwork depicts his plane at the time when he shot down mentioned 262 at 21st October 1944. His plane when he died at Meppen in 1945 was a different plane of 486 Squadron.

But I did not think he was ever in No. 3, that's all. You're totally correct, he was there summer '44 to winter '44-'45.

 

Really looking forward to these skins!
