The Red Ensign or "Red Duster" is a flag that originated in the early 17th century as a British ensign flown by the Royal Navy and later specifically by British merchantmen. The precise date of its first appearance is not known, but surviving receipts indicate that the Navy was paying to have such flags sewn during the 1620s. It is currently used as the civil ensign of the United Kingdom.

Nicely centered and at a great angle to show the whole flag Richie with the sailboats and green hills behind the bright red flag...good capture

Sorry, but I like THIS RED DUSTER a little better. LOL. Nice shot of the flag framing the sail boat. Well done, Biff.

Richie, this is well presented, with very good color, and I do like the perspective, and enjoyed reading your narrative.

Well captured Richie. Very sharp and good colours - and a nice bit of movement.
I am faving this - my Dad was in the British Merchant Navy during the war.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Quite familiar to me Richie . Beautiful shot of the colourful flag in light wind.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Excellent capture with such detail and presentation, that's for the great information about the history.
