Wissant then ...
Pity there is no one picture of port side to see the flags painted under the canopy.
This one too:

Yes, like on Rolf Pingel machine.
Hard to say which country flags.

Ed, some crews painted the flags of country on their plane of the nation they had fought.

Re: eBay: German intrest

From an expired eBay auction; here is the view with flags.
Published by Prien too but we see nothing about that detail.
Not only this machine and Pingel's one but on a Tr.Gr.186 one too. (published by Mombeeck).

Nothing sure about that "Rote 4'...
Even "Wissant" is doubtful since there are no high points to take those pictures from above as it has been done with that "Red 4".
But, one does note that the "Red 4" of 2./JG26 pictured at Bönninghardt, Spring 1940, has exactly the same "4" ..
