Using my thread as a kind of a blog I'll be writing up a bit about what I've found so far.
According to Axel Urbanke in Aeroplane Monthly 2005 Fritz E. Krause was Oberleutnant and Staffelkapitän at the time of the flight to Norway. Michael Holm writes that more or less the whole I./NJG11 was absorbed into III./NJG which in turn merged into just one staffel, namely 7./NJG 11. I guess one should consider 10./NJG 11 with their Me 262's to be part of III. gruppe but it actually appears that they worked as autonome units and it certainly appears so in different charts available.

In any case I assume there were a plethora of different markings on the planes in 7. Staffel and can only guess why Krause's Bf-109G (Urbanke) was marked with a Blue double chevron. Did they consider blue to be the Stab-colour in NJG 11? or in III. NJG 11?

Further on, what kind of marking would this aircraft carry behind the cross? I'm inclined to think that since the Doppelwinckel was blue and since Krause was Gruppenkommandör/Staffelkapitän there'd be no markings behind the cross.

White rudder. Formation leader.

G-10 or G-14(AS?)? High rank best aircraft? The question is what is considered the best aircraft of the two? I'm inclined to think he flew one of the two G-10's that landed at Kjevik. That means the werkenummer should be 150794 or 150701.

Paintjob? Hmm... standard RLM75/83/76 with perhaps a yellow band behind the cross. Could also be painted all over 76 with perhaps just a little mottling over the topsides, though that would be highly conjectural.

Any comments are appreciated
