[quote][i]Originally posted by RichR[/i] A National Flag CHARITY wtaf? It evens confirms what I said above, that "this word was in use before 1600 to describe a small flag flown from the small mast mounted on the bowsprit" The factually incorrect part of that is with regards to the bowsprit; it doesn't matter where it was flown, it relates only to a small flag flown from a pennant which would normally have been atop the masthead. The Flag Institute even confirms what I said about the jack been flown from the masthead. "1606, it was known simply as ‘the British flag’ or ‘the flag of Britain’, and was ordered to be flown at the main masthead of all ships, warships and merchant ships, of both England and Scotland." I'll take what's confirmed by the UK Naval/MoD regulations, over and above a retired commander and flag charity. "The Union Flag is to be worn as a Jack... during the hours laid down in Para 9136, by ships in harbour, at anchor, secured to a buoy or alongside, but not when in dock" [/quote]
