bliksimpie 14 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ahhhh....Thanks for the response, however, that is the correct way to display the American Flag. The flag is always flown "Or displayed" as though it was flying from a flag pole with the Union "field of blue" next to the pole and the stripes flying in the breeze. Other Countries regulations vary which is why I rarely will display another Countries flag on one of my repaints unless I can find a copy of that countries flag etiquette. Over the years, I have down-loaded aircraft in Flightsim where the right hand (Starboard) side of the aircraft has the flag flying the wrong direction and it's somewhat bugged me....however, as they say.....not on my watch. (smile) Cheers, Never to old to learn something new. Quite interesting. never knew that.. problem is now I will always check that and it will bug me to know 95% repaints are wrong. edit: Just googled it and even "Airforce one" display that "backwards".. on starboard side.

By the way, the Sir Frank Whittle ale at the Cambridge Beer Festival was awesome last night Ahhhhh.....now doesn't that sound Great!!!! We (U.S.) don't seem to get the good Bitter's & Ale's you all have. Mind you, we do have some that are not too bad.....but I do miss sampling the great Ale's & Bitters from other countries. Fell in love with VB when down in Australia back in `96-97 time frame.....and was EXTREMELY dissappointed when I found it wasn't available here in the States. A few weeks back, however, one of the Regional VP's I visit had brought me back a six-pack from his recent Australian visit. Wasn't the same as from the tap.....but I smiled while I enjoyed them and a good ball game......and yes.....I even had a cigar one of the nights.

Just wanna say that this ruined my life.. I googled the issue (no I am not form UK so i did not know your flag can be upside down - show you how we sometime look at things) Now whenever I see the union flag I immediatly check the flag and you will not believe how many times that happen at functions etc.. Holy moly, it seem that halve the world dont know there is a difference. http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/geography/unionjack7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
