Ah - so I guess a flag 'borrowed' from the Barksdale O-Club after GV and then hidden amongst the DetCo's golf bats, before being freed to grace the 35 Sqn Crew room doesn't really meet the requirements....
It was one of those posh ones too - all the gold frilly bits, a 2-piece flag pole with an eagle on the top and a ****king heavy base plate. Stan never did know - we'd promised to take his golf bats home and 'old glory' looked like an umbrella when stashed amongst them. The base plate was stowed in some anonymous cardboard box and labelled 'Calc 3 spares' or something similar.
When 35 folded, the flag was auctioned off at the final pi$$-up. I wonder where it ended up??
