In praise of the RAF roundel...

[deptfordmarmoset]

Ah, bleu, blanc, rouge, c'est l'un des nôtres!

Hands up everyone who wrestled with waterslide transfers...

What, were you 6 inches tall or something?

Right way up on the left. Upside down on the right (look at the broad white lines)

Traditionally the upside down was a distress signal by the Royal Navy.

Agree about the roundel, but could we not incorporate a Spitfire symbol as well? Just to annoy the Germans.

As a kid making Airfix models I used to wonder why the British aeroplanes had a target on the side.

Ahhh, the original French version perchance?

If you turn the left flag upside-down, it's still the same, isn't it?
The flag on the right looks back to front.

british sense of fairplay.

thats why we had bright red uniforms early on . so the enemy stood a little chance of winning

 

[Yellow Fang]

And fair play to the bosch for painting the maltese cross on their Fokkers, making it plain who were the good guys and who were the baddies.

Ignore everything except the broader white lines nearest to the flag pole. If the flag is hung the correct way up the lines are on top of the red diagonals. When the flag is upside down they are below.

 

[Gary E]

Doesn't matter if the flag is blowing to the left or the right, just look at the broad white lines nearest to the pole

 

[Arch]

What, were you 6 inches tall or something?

Yes, I was tiny. On the upside, I had some cool private jets....

Top 2 are both the right way up. Bottom 2 are both upside down.
