- Interesting, the few pictures that I have (gifs included) are of the right
- side. Is the flag as seen on the left side facing the normal way?
-
- BTW, are you thinking that there is something wrong with this orientation?
- It is perfectly acceptable to display the flag facing left, right or down.
-
- As for the Navy in sailing days, the flag blew in the direction of the wind.
- Basically, it faced forward as viewed from the right, so this doesn't
- really answer the question, does it? :-)
