[anorak]Strictly speaking, it's only Jack when its attached to a military vessel,[/anorak] so if you've got one on your fishing dinghy, that's still a Union Flag and will also get you laughed at by people in non-home made, expensive craft.

It didn't look like that when I last saw it at Syon House, circa 1984.Wouldn't you think that a car in the Heritage Collection would have had the correct indicator/marker lens? Those are Minor or MK2 A40 and as such, don't extend far enough beyond the lamp surrounds. More anorakism I know, but it's a pet peeve of mine.

If, however, you were flying the union jack from your boat or the RN's boat it would mean that a person of royalty was on it I
