Here's one for Flipper! When "dressing overall" what is the correct sequence of flags (reading from the bow)?

I can refer the Hon (Sec) Gentleman to the answer supplied to Mssrs Full Circle and Morgana in Feb 2007.
I would list it here but I don't wish to appear a know it all!

There are 39 code flags comprising 26 Alphabet 3 substitutes and 10 numerals. Usual overall procedure is 2 alphabet in sequence alternating with a number and finally substitutes. The arrangement should run in an unbroken arch from bow to stern. As well as the aforementioned all usual flags should be flown ie association/club flags Ensign etc.
Will that do?

His names Jeremy not Jack, and try the Sunk Pilot station!

Buy an ordinary union flag, cut a white sheet to size, cut an appropriate aperture in centre of said sheet, and sew union flag into aperture. Voila! Robert is your Father's Brother!

I get ours from Kildale Marine up at Hull Marina, But I think they in turn get them from Davies in Colchester.
Any chandler who deals with Davies should be able to get you one.
