If it was feared "the enemy" were planning to use a fort/castle/etc as a honeypot to attract and sneak attack British troops they'd fly the flag upside down before capture - the enemy wouldn't notice and disaster would be averted by keen eyed British troops.<br /><br />Security by obscurity?Chad Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466797076721870606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-38647200417862855452012-06-06T15:28:13.354+01:002012-06-06T15:28:13.354+01:00The best thing about standards is that there are s...The best thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.Phil Vealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898488623416029658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-50534284899054579322012-06-06T11:18:34.672+01:002012-06-06T11:18:34.672+01:00Aren't standards great?

This happens (just) on the army's 5:3 ratio version of the union flag and any with a squarer ratio than that. It is very noticeable on the 2:3 ratio.
