Like the St.David's flag on the masthead !!!:Cool::Cool::Cool:

Well spotted Steve. I had one flying at my place a couple of years ago and a Welsh friend asked why I was flying a Scottish flagoh: It doesn't get flown much here, they prefer the dragon. But St David does have a striking flag.

There was me thinking Jim's trying to fly St Piran's flag!
I thought I'll give him until Wednesday to get it right

If the All Blacks win the summer series against England I might fly St Pirans's to please one of the big AB Supporters who lives in deepest Cornwall

Dave/Phil... Is/Was the Flag of St David the official 'Welsh' flag. Or have they always used the dragon

current flag was officially recognised as late as 1959 i got more info on a file will post

The oldest known use of the dragon to represent Wales is from the Historia Brittonum, written around 830,
The green and white stripes of the flag were additions by the House of Tudor, the Welsh dynasty that held the English throne from 1485 to 1603. Green and white are also the colours of the leek, another national emblem of Wales.

The Flag of Saint David, a yellow cross on a black field, is used in the emblem of the Diocese of St David's and is flown during St. David's Day,


it was very much a religious emblem only, as far as i can tell
