The aircraft denoted is one from 486 Squadron before D-Day, 1944.

No. 486 (NZ) Squadron was a fighter squadron established for service during the Second World War. Formed in March 1942 and equipped with Hawker Hurricane fighters, No. 486 Squadron became operational late the following month, initially flying patrols protecting convoys making their way through the North Sea. From late 1942 to early 1943, it was tasked with intercepting incoming raids mounted by Luftwaffe fighter bombers. It was then switched to offensive operations, escorting bombers attacking targets in France and then flying in a fighter bomber role. In early 1944 the squadron re-equipped with the Hawker Tempest. In the run up to D-Day, it attacked numerous military targets in France and the Low Countries. For several weeks following D-Day, it was called upon to deal with incoming V-1 Flying Bombs launched at England by the Germans. It was disbanded in October 1945.
No. 486 Squadron flew over 11,000 sorties and claimed 81 enemy aircraft as destroyed, another 5 probably destroyed and 22 damaged. Although squadron pilots claimed 241 V-1s as destroyed. When operating against ground or sea targets, it was responsible for the destruction of 323 motor vehicles, 14 railway engines and 16 ships.
Pilots serving with the squadron were awarded a Distinguished Service Order (DSO), 22 Distinguished Flying Crosses (DFC) and six Mentioned in Dispatches. (MiD)
