Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Norseman on February 27, 2012, 08:21:47 pm: While we wait for a flag .........

Looking for Dereks family name, I had to dabble in heraldry.
New and a little daunting to me. If you look at the link

http://cheshire-heraldry.org.uk/lesson.html

they describe just one example but it helped me start to
get the sequence in my head for desriptions/searches.

Ok a lot of you guys will be way beyond this, but it's nice
to have a starting point when you are a newbie. O0

Well I'm off out to stock up on lamb before the price just
rockets with this Akabane like disease. I've just been
looking at lambs but only the heraldic Lamb of God - or paschal
lamb, or agnus Dei. Nothings easy in heraldry so I hope the
simple link helps someone to dip their toes.

Flag Anyone?

Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Arrow5 on March 07, 2012, 03:39:19 pm: Spot on W3bby, the initials were there right under the pennant plus all the "lines" "tracks" "Watford JUNCTION" . I was running out of hints , how do I get "points", "ballast", "signals" into it so a sleepy railwayman would get it {-) Now to see (sea >>:-( ) what ships the NBR had if any. Why else a pennant ?!
Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Norseman on March 07, 2012, 03:48:29 pm: I'm one of those heavy sleepers and hence I missed your several points,
for my brain is only used for ballast and thus ignored your obvious signals
to get me on track. :}
Dave
Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Arrow5 on March 07, 2012, 04:19:52 pm: Just did a short search for NBR ships and they did have a few on both east and west coast of Scotland , couldn't find a picture of any with the pennant.

Brest is the best... of course I'm born there ! I was working for a year with Bangladesh Airline and each time I came to the imigration (every two days) the immigrattion officer was laughing when my answer to place of birth with Brest (maybe I prononce it like breast ?? )

O0 love it when there's some history attached to a post- I used to deliver bills of lading to/from Turners and P&O
when I was a lad working for The mersey Docks & Harbour Board. Loads of shipping offices in Liverpool back then.
That was a good flag too :-))

I can find US Chaplains Guidons for sale as above......?

My other thought tended towards the merchant marine chaplains but I've not found an example
to confirm or refute the idea.

Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: w3bby on March 23, 2012, 05:03:00 pm: Not really, then it is a swallow-tailed guidon....

Abbreviated from Wikipedia as relates to the UK - Colours are carried by foot regiments. The standard is the colours-equivalent for the heavy cavalry and the guidon is the equivalent for the light cavalry.

The word guidon is a corruption of the French guyde homme – 'the guide man'

Or

World English Dictionary
guidon (ˈɡaɪd ə n)

— n
1. a small pennant, used as a marker or standard, esp by cavalry regiments
2. the man or vehicle that carries this

[C16: from French, from Old Provençal guidoo, from guida guide ]

Post by: Xtian29 on March 24, 2012, 06:49:19 pm: Hello

Back to Guidon, yes it's a french name and for flag it's coming from army and regiment to align part of the regiment to other. By the way each "clan" have it's own guidon serving to guide and to align but also as distinctive mark.

In the navy a guidon is the name of your burgee. Again like a distinctive flag for a "clan"

Then it's also a name of some railway signals and now for most people the word is mainly the wheel of a bicyle as you guide your way with it.

State of Hunza in Gilgit Agency which is North of North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Recognized by the British as a semi-independent principality in 1850s, Hunza progressively lost sovereignity in the process of constitutional changes in Pakistan. State was incorporated into Pakistan in 1974. Last ruler was Mir Mohammad Jamal Khan 1946-74. Hunza is supposedly one of the most beautiful corners of the world.

Post by: Norseman on March 28, 2012, 01:12:07 pm: Hi Surf

I'll go out out on a limb with a guess

Southern Cross and I'm thinking Australia
Not typical of their art but just made me think Aboriginal
now that low orange curve reminds me of Ayers rock ....... under a hot sun
and the blue looks like a pool ......... or watering hole

Uluru is the Aboriginal and official name but does not mean "waterhole",
it's an Aboriginal place name, referring to both the rock itself and the waterhole
on top of the rock. The Aboriginal owners of Uluru call themselves Anangu. They
are often referred to as the Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people, the two
languages spoken by the Anangu

I can't find anything in support but I'll go out out on a limb and say
an Anangu flag for Uluru or the resort of Yulara
Yulara means "crying", "weeping" I read.

Post by: Norseman on April 16, 2012, 02:14:00 pm: SEALINK

and you give me this one on my day off work Duncan <*< - well at least the British Rail days are mostly happy memories O0

An inverted blue version of the BR symbol was used on Sealink's funnels and flags. I just couldn't remember why it was inverted but according to wiki this was because:
1.The inverted arrows make an "S" for Sealink when in that direction.
2.While railways in the UK pass right to right (i.e. drive on the left), ships have to pass left to left (i.e. drive on the right), so this version was more accurate.
3.On the ships' funnels the symbol was reversed on the port side but correct on the starboard side, so the 'top' arrow was always pointing towards the bow of the ship.

Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Arrow5 on April 21, 2012, 08:38:25 am: Flags of the World says it is the Zeppelin company flag....the more colourful version(whites instead of yellow) was the Airship Corps(military) but...that would only be during the Nazi era. Hmmmm I`ll have to have a look elsewhere to see where my cap badge version comes in perhaps pre -Nazi. I have a passing interest in the airships of the period and visit the Friedrichshafen museum often. Modern versions fly from there and you can have a flight in one for about 400 euros :(( Champaign included ! Music, I was swooning over Joan Baez and agreeing with Bob Dylan`s protests in those days, rock was too "Yank" for me ( I worked for the USAF then and wasn't too impressed with things transatlantic ) The Zeppelin company is still operating making construction machinery in conjunction with Caterpillar(USA). The Zeppelin NT company makes the modern NT , new technology, airships. See the advertising on the model. Enjoy the boat show...you DID take a camera of course? O0

but I would have taken

Zeppelin Corps Flag
and as the album is called 'Led Zeppelin' as Ian spotted - you had it but threw it away

There's an awful big 'Folk' influence deep in that 'Rock' - LZ's mother's milk for me.
Saw LZ live in Liverpool & Black Sabbath too in 1970's, later saw I the Who.
Never did see Deep Purple ..... and I refused to pay a fiver for a David Bowie show. :embarrassed:

I didn't ignore your Post, it simply wasn't there when I replied to Arrow? - even though your reply is now next in line after my last Post to you?

Anyway, we now have our work cut out trying to find Arrow's flag! :D

Post by: Raen on June 12, 2012, 10:07:30 am: Hi there

Might this be the Golden Dragon Flag (Baner Y Ddraig Aur) Raised by Owain Glyndŵr as his battle flag?

Cheers,
Tim
Title: Re: Re: NAME THE FLAG 2
Post by: Norseman on June 12, 2012, 10:28:21 am: Absolutey correct Tim - Your turn now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Draig_aur.gif

The banner is known as Y Ddraig Aur or "The Golden Dragon" which has ancient origins. It was famously raised over Caernarvon during the Battle of Tuthill in 1401 by Owain Glyndŵr. I believe Y Ddraig Aur is associated with Y Mab Darogan or Son of Destiny / Chosen One

Re clue - The Sons of Glyndŵr (Welsh Nationalists) had a period in the 1970's where they were said to be resposible for setting fire to many second homes owned by English.

I'm just back from Malta - beeping cold here isn't it.

Well you did all the work identifying Russia and Alaska for me to find http://zebratigerfish.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/russian-american-post-colonial-heritage.html
The writer states 'I have created post-historical Russian Heritage Flags that are based on the flags of modern states of the USA and one province of Canada' .....
so I wonder is it a recognised flag, has anyone adopted it for use? I have no idea how that sort of thing works but we have had flags here from Hersheys Tin Tin.

Yes, it is the Chuvash Republic :-)) (Volga-Vyatka region between Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan).

To keep things 'in line' Nick, would you mind if we work with Spooks' flag please. It is good to see a new participant. Thankyou :-)) It certainly looks as if it might be Geest, and, you being rarely wrong( :} ), I am not going to bother looking it up! :-))

A message to any Mayhem member who has not participated in this Topic. Some might have reservation in taking part thinking they may hoist a flag that has been seen before... please do not worry about this, no-one will expect you to have scrutinised, logged and noted every single flag that has been Posted on here. I think I will be right in saying that I doubt regulars will remember every single flag posted from general memory! - we must have had near 300 so far? We might recognise it, but we will still have to go and look most up again!). Most of the obvious flags have of course been seen, but if there might be some duplication with other things it doesn't matter. You will be able to guess the general flow of things by, say, looking at the last fifteen or so flags... luckily there are many many 1000's to choose from so there is plenty of scope!

Can't we leave it a little longer before clues or at least have more cryptic clues.. If you know enough to give a clue then answer or do as I have tended to do lately and leave it for a while. Hopefully we will get some more new blood in here.

On another forum, of which I am a member, we have a long-running media quiz and it never ceases to amaze me how many people forget to rename their clip/image/whatever, and the *ahem* less honest members capitalise on this so I always rename mine. Sometimes humourous, sometimes meaningless. ok2

Nothing to do with the vessel class.

Just the same as a frigate from the 10th
Frigate Squadron would have a number 10
on the funnel.

The 9th Frigate Squadron but we had a picture of
