Eric Two new flags for the collection arrived today, both American. The Grand Union & The Betsy Ross. Fantastic, looking forward to flying these.

Mark Dain Any reason for getting Betsy Ross rather than Old Glory? Just historical reasons? It probably goes well with Grand Union.

Eric I already have Old Glory neatly folded away, I wanted its partners in history. I think I'm at around 20 flags now.. yikes. The flag which has been flying since Winter's coming has been The Christian Flag (en.wikipedia.org/w...) it doesn't look all that aesthetically pleasing in the digital images but I find it particularly pleasing on the eye when flown against a clear winter's day sky. It is a favourite of mine, I hope these become favourites too - though the stripes are pretty garish. Perhaps these will be more suited to Summer.

Mark Dain Are you collecting flags? I have Old Glory folded away as well, I got it as part of a birthday present from a friend of mine who lives in the US. I used to have a Union Jack somewhere but it's gone missing. I'm somewhat a fan of vexillology but I never really got into it.

Eric I've collected them for years now, always enjoyed the history and aesthetics. Unless there's some emotional tie it's hard to enjoy them quite so much. My fondness for American flags started from Letters from an American Farmer.
