One last release before Christmas: three new 1:600 scale Age of Sail flag sets devoted to English and British ships along three different periods of History - with one set devoted to English traders prior to the Union Act with Scotland (1707), a second one devoted to the British East India Company between 1707 and 1801 and, lastly, a third one showing the Red Ensign from 1801 onwards.

BTW, this latter ensign was shared by merchant ships and Royal Navy's Red Squadron until 1864, when it was decreed its exclusive use by civil vessels - thus becoming the White Ensign a Royal Navy's exclusive and only flag. Such is the arrangement still in force as per today.

Happy Christmas to you all!
