Hi Garry,

Still playing with it at the moment as there are a few small issues to deal with. There will be a few other Cambrian Daks to go with this.

This is the first time that I have seen the civil aviation ensign prominently displayed on a British aircraft repaint.

One does not often see this civilian flag flown or painted on aircraft these days. I suppose most people today would recognise and know the association of both the Union flag, the white ensign, the red ansign and the RAF ensign but might think that the civil aviation flag represented some overseas colony or protectorate.

RNR and RFA have their own ensigns of course.

I am not sure wwhat the Army fly on their landing craft these days.

Hi Hobby,

You must have missed my Silver City paint (not released yet) here http://www.cbfsim.org/cbfsimv5/cbfsbb/v ... php?t=9361 which has a small version of it on the tail.

Hi Hobby

I have a BUCIA Herald with the ensign on the Fin

A Cambrian Viscount like the Dak shown here

And some of the 748 liverys for example the CAA ones have it on the fin

Also on some of my Vikings (10) I think including most of the Eagle

as you see the army landing craft also have to royal blue ensign. not sure on the gold lettering on the lower corner of the flag. RFA and other use the same colours but the gold lettering is differing on each.

why have people in the uk changed the name of the union jack to union flag?

Interesting stuff!

Regarding jack versus flag:

I always would call it the 'jack'.

Interesting article that Dano

When in the RN, I always referred to it as the Jack but with 20-odd years as a civvie and only ever seeing it in civvie use.. I call it a Flag, which is what it is

Hi John: I had missed the Silver City DC3 repaint.

As I do not fly the Herald, Viscount or HS748 - I am trying to teach myself the panel routines and checklists for the latter but am nowhere near claiming an aircraft rtaing yet I let the repaints and some 748 schemes pass me by at present.

Does any modern UK airline using British registered aircraft paint the Civil Aviation Ensign - an attractive design, on aircraft these days?

That army vessel does look somewhat wet but seems to be making good speed in the prevailing sea conditions.
