Captain Umber

Am I remembering incorrectly, or did Captain Umber once get a name check in one of the original episodes?
Thanks,

I have checked the episode guide and can’t see a reference to Captain Umber. Of course, if he was only referenced and didn’t have a speaking part, then he’s unlikely to be mentioned. He does crop up in several fanfic stories posted on this website and a Lieutenant Umber appears in John Theydon’s novel Captain Scarlet and the Silent Saboteur, published in 1968, or thereabouts.
Unless someone else can provide a more definitive answer, I guess you’re going to have to trawl back through the episodes again! ((()))

Hi, Skybase Girl, and thanks for replying. Yeah, I now know that he didn't actually appear in an episode, but I seem to recall Colonel White mentioning his name, when giving out instructions?
However, I could be remembering it wrong?
Best,
Captain ocd.
