Thanks for confirming: I stared at it for a full minute trying to detect whether some white parts were wider than others and couldn't find that to be the case.

Indeed, as the club badge is in the shape of a shield, and not a flag, the design should not be mistaken for a Union Jack.
Mind you, a handbag, a tail fin, Mrs. Thatcher and the CEO of British Aiways springs to mind. I seem to remember he got out of trouble by claiming that it was the Chatham (Naval Dockyard) Design. Regards Mike

'Rotating 180 degrees' - if by this you mean rotating say a photo, it will make no difference. But by turning the flag so that what was the bottom at the front becomes the top at the back ie turning it over, It will make every difference, removing the distress, one might say! Any ex-serviceman who ever had to raise or lower a flag will know the rope (I forget its proper name) that is sewn into the flagpole side of the flag, is longer at the bottom than the top. Two reasons: one, the idiot guide, so even the dumbest of squaddies, erks, or whatever the lowest RN rating is known as can’t get it wrong, and two, there’s more weight below the flag, to help it to fly properly.

For those that know what they are looking for, determining if the flag is upside down or not is easy. macafee2 |

Yes, that would be a nice thought (for those that didn't survive)
However, I have monitored it again today. The lower, larger portions (of both flags) appear black, but on the upper slivers that can be seen, I think that there is a hint of blue. They are also clearly in the entrance lobby behind the lecterns, so I now do suspect a lighting effect. Regards Mike
