pps & $20 million to use the flag was a bargain too wasn’t it, said no one.
It was intended as a bit light hearted humour .... a pun on the South Africa (history of apartheid) and the comment of "markings" were on opposite sides of the airframe. Hence APARTSIDE.
With respect to the issue, I simply posted about the use of the aboriginal flag on Australian aircraft, I was surprised at the tone and aggressiveness of the responses which speaks volumes within itself. It appears there is a long way to go. That said, it is encouraging to see that some progress is being made in a few areas.
