This is the unofficial flag that was used on land. It was
adopted on February 2 1950. For a more detailed description of
the flag, see the page about the current Belize
flag since it's relatively the same.

According to W. Crampton in Flags of the World (1978) [cra81a], the flag, for local use on
land only, was introduced in 1967. British Honduras had
achieved internal self-government in 1964 and the land flag was
probably introduced in recognition of the fact that full
independence had to be delayed until Guatemala's claim to the
country had been resolved.

Some years ago I received information from the government of
Belize. The flag for local use on land was "presented"
on 2 February 1950. A picture of the flag accompanied the
communication, and in reverse were printed same indications.

This is the civilian flag that was used during the same time
period as the previous flag.

The pre-independence unofficial flag had a variation with just
empty disk for use as civil flag if the intricate flag was
unavailable. Is there now such variation with red stripes added?
