flag
for those who are interested.
i have one flag,with names on which can be put on display somewhere,this is my flag number three.
i have one flag with all the names of the first flag like the one in new zealand,this is my original flag where some people could not remember their registration numbers or refused to give them and they are shown on this flag as follows R 000000.some could not even remember their first ship.
on the new zealand flag and subsequent flags all registration numbers are correct.
this first flag will always be with me,which i will fly when i am at meetups,etc.i must stress that this is my flag and it stays with me.there is another flag,this is the st georges cross flag and george in southampton has this,so that he can get one on the ss.shieldhall.
i have one blank flag,which is ready to have various names added to it,sometime in the future.
as an after thought,the one in australia i only put your names and registration number on the flag(no ship),i did this so that i could get more names onto the flag.
i do hope you are pleased with mine and vernons efforts.
regards
mike
