Anyone else notice that the Union Flag on top of the pit-stands was, at least on Saturday, upside down?  It was the same last year.

Perhaps the ACO were asking for help.  Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

probably not as obvious as the Dutch flag hanging upside-down (as seen at a support race to the 1000km Spa last year) Grin

Yes I noticed that too.  Mind you there were several Union Flags being flown upside down in the Campsites.  But I supose they may well have been in distress.  :-)

Thats the correct way.    The broad white Diagonal should be upermost next to the Pole.

The cross of St Andrew is above that of St Patrick at the hoist because the cross was added to the flag before St Patrick's cross, therefore the cross of St Andrew is entitled to the higher position

I could have made a funny remark here about archeoligy, but I think I better leave that for now, don't think I could take the punishment from Fran at Silverstone for a remark like that Grin Grin

The Union Flag has been upside down above the pits since atleast 1998 when I first spotted it.

Thanks DelBoy for saying flag and not Jack as it is only a union Jack when flown on a Navy ship or queens appointed residence/office or government building
