The british flag, or 'Union Jack', consists in the association of saint Georges cross (red over white, in the foreground) for England, saint Andrew cross (white X over blue, in the background) for Scotland, and saint Patrick cross (red X over white) for Ireland.
Initially sported by the aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps at the beginning of the first World War, it was quickly abandonned after confusions with the german cross (at great distances), and replaced by a classical roundel.
It is sported today on the VIP aircraft of N°32 (TR) Squadron. It is also seen on the aircraft detached to overseas operations.
