Hi, Seaplanes...

Thanks for taking time to provide the information in your post.

I agree with you that the I/D letter of the aircraft in my first post above should be white or yellow. Personally, for me, if we're sticking to 'standard' Luftwaffe practice, it should be white.

Since my original post, I have found two images of the actual aircraft I'm interested in - 6H+LM. Another website shows a colour profile of this machine with the I/D letter of 'L' in red. From these two images (both of which are captioned as 'Norway, 1941') I can understand the possible confusion as it appears, looking at both photos, that the I/D letter could be any of the three Staffel colours of white, red or yellow! I'm hoping for some conclusive proof of white, but would accept a worthwhile explanation of why it should be either of the other colours.

Thanks again for your time. Much appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Paul
