RAAF Officer Distinguishing Flags

Chapter 11, Annex J of the RAAF Manual of Ceremonial, AAP 5135.002, which is downloadable at this Air Cadet Corps site, depicts "RAAF Officer Distinguishing Flags," all 2:3.

The distinguishing flag of the officer commanding, or the officer temporarily commanding a base or independent unit is flown at the masthead at all times. It is only to be replaced by the Queen's Personal Flag for Australia, Royal Standards of Members of The Royal Family, or The Governor-General, whenever such personages are on the base or unit.

No Australian has ever held this rank, so this flag is theoretical only.
Miles Li, 22 November 2003

The Duke of Edinburgh (a British subject) does hold this rank, but as a member of the Royal Family he uses his personal banner of arms in all situations when the flag of the MRAAF would ordinarily be used.
