The Admiralty in 1864 settled all official flags at proportions of 1:2, but the relative widths of the crosses remained unspecified, with the above conventions becoming standardised in the 20th century. [46] In the 19th century, the Union flag was defined by the same blazon but could vary in its geometrical proportions. [47]

Identical to the Union Flag, a missile can be stored in each of the Graham's Union Flag Custom's legs and various types can be equipped to suit the mission. [5] [11] The shin armor flips outward when launching the missile. [11] Although mainly used in Flight modes, they can also be used for anti-air fire from the ground by changing the missile type. [5] [11] The missiles are stored internally to reduce air resistance, but this limits the amount of missiles carried, thus when required, additional missile pods can be mounted below the main and sub wings and between the legs. [5] [11] To reduce the mobile suit's weight when battling the Gundams, the missiles are often not equipped. [11] In fact, the missiles are not used at all against the Gundams. [11] Lord Howe's action, or the Glorious First of June, painted in 1795, shows a Union flying from HMS Queen Charlotte on the " Glorious First of June" 1794. The actual flag, preserved in the National Maritime Museum, is a cruder approximation of the proper specifications; this was common in 18th and early 19th century flags.

In the case of the Union Flag, the difference is subtle and is easily missed by the uninformed. It is often displayed upside down inadvertently—even on commercially-made hand waving flags.

Graham switched to the SVMS-01E Graham's Union Flag Custom following his transfer to the new anti-Gundam investigative taskforce. He was later joined by two other Union Flag pilots, Daryl Dodge and Howard Mason. When the Celestial Being's Gundams intervened in Taribia's attempt to leave the Union, the trio was deployed separately from the Union's fleet in the area, with Graham leading in his custom Flag while Daryl and Howard followed in their normal Flag. However, only Graham's custom Flag managed to catch up to Exia and they had a brief battle that ended when Exia escaped into the waters below. College of Arms (2023). "Union Flag: approved designs" .

For the avoidance of doubt and the sake of convenience, Garter King of Arms, under the authority of the Earl Marshal, has approved two versions of the Union flag as being accurate representations suitable for use.

There is no specific way in which the Union Flag should be folded as there is with the United States Flag. It is usually folded rectilinearly, with the hoist on the outside, to be easily reattached to the pole. [97] [98] Kelly, Ralph (8 August 2017). "A flag for the Empire" (PDF). The Flag Institute.

Pearson introduced plans to replace the Union Flag with a new national flag, spurring the Great Canadian flag debate. [105] A new national flag, the Maple Leaf, was approved by the parliament of Canada on 17 December 1964. [105] However, on the following day, the Canadian parliament passed another resolution that designated the Union Flag as the Royal Union Flag and authorised its official use as the symbol of the country's membership in the Commonwealth of Nations and its allegiance to the Crown. [107] The move was a concession given to those who preferred to adopt the Canadian Red Ensign as a formal national flag. On 15 February 1965, the maple leaf flag formally replaced the Union Flag as the flag of Canada following an official proclamation by Elizabeth II, [105] with the Royal Union Flag becoming an official ceremonial flag. [107] The Royal Union Flag next to the flag of Canada during a Remembrance Day parade in Stirling, Ontario, 2009 In objecting to the design of the Union Flag adopted in 1606, whereby the cross of Saint George surmounted that of Saint Andrew, a group of Scots took up the matter with John Erskine, 19th Earl of Mar, and were encouraged by him to send a letter of complaint to James VI, via the Privy Council of Scotland, which stated that the flag's design " will breid some heit and miscontentment betwix your Majesties subjectis, and it is to be feirit that some inconvenientis sail fall oute betwix thame, for our seyfaring men cannot be inducit to resave that flage as it is set down". [64] Although documents accompanying this complaint which contained drafts for alternative designs have been lost, evidence exists, at least on paper, of an unofficial Scottish variant, whereby the Scottish cross was uppermost. There is reason to think that cloth flags of this design were employed during the 17th century for unofficial use on Scottish vessels at sea. [65] [66] [67] This flag's design is also described in the 1704 edition of The Present State of the Universe by John Beaumont, which contains as an appendix The Ensigns, Colours or Flags of the Ships at Sea: Belonging to The several Princes and States in the World.
