Hi Tom,

The problem is that I want small courtesy flags...not 3'x5' flags. My
lightweight flag halyard wouldn't handle something that big, and then
there's the issue of storage, etc. I looked on Ebay and didn't find any
smaller. Oh well. But thanks for the suggestion!

There're a lot of flags on eBay. A typical 36x60 flag costs only $4-5.

If you strike a deal with a single seller, you can get all the
flags you need in one shipment and heavy discount.

They have a good selection.

Thanks for feedback from someone who's been there. We've got 20-30
courtesy flags at about $20 each, and that adds up to big bucks,
especially when no one really cares. A small duster way up the mast
with a small emblem is much better than nothing in my mind. I'll
probably get a New Zealand flag and use that thru Australia if it lasts
that long.

Good Idea , the Kiwis will apreciate it and who cares about Austrailians anyway

I suppose we COULD print them with the color printer and laminate them
with holes to fly them....(c;

Not an entirely facetious post. I have just ordered some waterproof paper
from the US, for various experiments....mainly to print waterproof chart
segments. Apparently, it can be printed using an ordinary inkjet printer ,
bothsides, and when the ink dries, is waterproof. This waterproof paper is
not just paper, but some hard to tear, sun resistant compound. Comes in
different sizes. Off the top...might be worth experimenting with for
temporary flags

And, as an Australian, I would suggest to the OP that no flag is preferable
to some bodgied up english or nz flag. Perhaps the OP should have watched
the World Rugby Cup last night...flags were aplenty as Australia beat the
**** out of the Kiwis. And there will be flags aplenty when Australia beats
England next Saturday night. (Oh, the US was bundled out of the competition
earlier on, along with Georgia and a few other nondescripts who can't stand
the pace and fury of real football)


Yes there have been flags aplenty hope your flying the union jack high
