Re: 3 Squadron Tempests 1944
According to Chris Shores "Aces High, Vol. 2," JN817 was used by Beamont to down a V-1 on 19 June 44 and was coded "T" at the time. This Tempest was also used to down V-1s in June & July by Umbers, Moore, Rose and Slade-Betts, however no code is given when flown by these pilots. Therefore it is possible that JN817 was coded JF-T innitially and then recoded JF-H.
Also, Chris, in your posting you attribute the code "Y" to JN807. However in your excellent Osprey book on Typhoon and Tempest aces, there is a photo on page 54 showing P/O Whitman exiting JF-X which is stated to be JN807.
