Re: Defaced Flags
What is a defaced ensign? I'm presuming it's not a union jack thats had FTQ spraypainted over it as was my first assumption?

It is a red duster with an emblem on it. Unlike a blue ensign that is commonly defaced. It appears our red duster is a lot more sacrosanct.steveyates wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 5:47 pm What is a defaced ensign?

Re: Defaced Flags
I saw an "ensign" today that was a red flag with an inset signal flag M. A bit like replacing the Union flag in the Red ensign with an M.
What does that mean?

Re: Defaced Flags
It means you've been sailing around with your eyes closed for the last umpteen years. I wonder if anyone else has noticed a boat flying a large blue ensign defaced by a wheen of stars from its mast?
