Well after some considerable time I'm going to answer this one myself, it seems that signal flags came in two colours white with a blue horizontal stripe and blue and also in two sizes... although I dont yet know the actual measurements...
I believe the airfix signal figure has the smaller sized flags and armed with the signal alphabet from this site......

 it seems he is signalling "Erase".......

Apparantly though the use of such flags was rare during WW1....
