This aircraft is not unique for that Geschwader. The planes I have documented from I./JG 301 all carry the “reversed” red/yellow RV bands. As well as several color slides, I own a whole series of original prints of captured I./JG 301 aircraft. Included are Fw 190 A-8 <4+ and 9+ Black, and an addition 9+ Black (not the same aircraft!) All have the “reversed” bands. None of these planes were photographed in Norway. They all came from central and southern Germany and Czechoslovakia.
