Flags: Union Flag / Union Jack - a photo on Flickriver

            File: 2022003-0307

At a showground called Ashdown Camp, at Ashdown Farm, off Badsey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 25th of June 2022.

About this photograph.

While I was at the Wartime in the Vale re-enactment event, looking around to take some photographs of the military re-enactment event and old military vehicles, the weather was partial cloudy and windy.

As a result of the winds, many of the flags around the showground are flying. I spotted those two flags Union Flags and took some photos.

This is the flag of the United Kingdom. This is not, as most non-British people tend to mistakenly think, the flag of England.

For details about the flag, see About the overall subject.

About the flag.

The Union Flag is also called the Union Jack. Both names are valid, acceptable, and even interchangeable.

As a matter of a fact, there is no official name for it, and various names had been used throughout the British history, including…

The Britain, The British Flag, The Banner of the Union, The Great Union, The Flag of the Union, The Union Flag, His Majesty’s Jack, The King’s Jack, The Jack Flag, and The Union Jack.

There had been a popular myth that the correct name should be Union Flag seen above buildings, and when a smaller Union Flag is flying on the mast of a sailing ship, it should be called Union Jack, however there is no proof of this.

For me personally, I use either way, often depending on mood or typing speed or how I feel when writing.

About Wartime in the Vale.

Wartime in the Vale is an annual re-enactment event, held at the former Second World War camp, next to the town of Evesham, during the summer. The event is organised by the Military Vehicle Trust – South Midlands Area.

The event is held during the weekend, and believed to have at least more than 500 military vehicles of various eras, but mostly of First and Second World Wars, on display as well as re-enactment events in the main arena, including blank firing of weapons. They even have a flypast over the area.

The Ashdown Camp is a 40 acres site, with some old WWII era buildings, mainly huts, located near the Ashdown Farm, just to the east of Evesham.
