Adam,

You are most welcome. Just a quick note - I am not sure why you refer to the Stab Träger Flieger Gruppe II./186 as a Stabsstaffel? The Stab of a Jagdgruppe at that time (i.e., August/September 1939) nominally consisted of three aircraft, and in some cases those were not even operational because of the lack of trained pilots. That might have been the case with this particular Stab, which as you rightly suggested, might have been in existence on paper only.

Later in the war, in October/November 1942, there was the JG 51 Stabsstaffel, formed from the 6./JG 51, which was equipped with the Fw 190 A aircraft and detached from the rest of II./JG 51, which was equipped with the Bf 109 G-2/trop and sent to Tunisia.

Hope that I did not overdo this - no intention to lecture, just for the sake of clarity.

Regards,
Sinisa
