Let's shake things up a bit. Since we've pretty much done a lot of flags, lets open the options a bit more this time.

Flags can be: of a country, state/province of a country, city, county, organization, or even historical flags.

Here we go...

Still looking since you first posted the flag.

I have always been pretty good at flag games, but you guys sure do pick some obscure ones. However, the one you refer to is the:

Flag of the British Indian Ocean Territory

I'll have to say that this one was tough. The union jack, the crown and the waves were a good hint though. Nice pick! :D :cool:

Here's a tricky one:

Hey Aussie, is that the Austrailian flag? Check out my post in the What Car Am I thread!

Guys, remember that you need to re-save the image under a different name so someone can't figure it out that way.

It has taken me forever to find this one! Def. one of the most difficult ones that has been posted since we've been doing these.

The flag is of the Anjou province of France

On we go!

That would be from the Revolutionary War. It is the Gadsden Flag or also refered to as the "don't tread on Me" flag.

No. What do they teach people in school these days! This is the Aussie flag. Because Australia is a member of the British Monarcy we have the union jack on our flag (That's the red and white thingy in the top-left corner)

This is true. I was aware of that, but saying it is red and white is far easier than saying it has blue inserts as well. Here is an overview for those who don't know:

OK, now I AM terribly vexxed. Can you give me and Hotwire a clue? It is not a nations flag. That I am reasonably confident about. It is probably a provincial flag of some nation. European MAYBE? Could possibly be of some island, somewhere? Throw me a bone here! :confused:

Friesland Province (The Netherlands)!

(I have to confess that i did not find this, my mate was sitting on my sofa looking over my shoulder and said that the hearts look similar to those found on Norwegian and Dutch flags!).

My turn...

Clue: The blue on the flag represents the sea and sky of ? and the green symbolises the fields, while the fleur de lys represents the City of ?

Oh great! Fantastic! Another hard flag. :mad: :rolleyes:

I am glad one of us got it eventually.

I do like this flag though. It is definately European. Probably scandinavian. Still looking. :D

Am I on the right track?

It is not a garlic, it is a turnip! - the 'waasland beet' to be precise!

We call them mangle-wurzels where I come from ee bi gum.

That would make it in Flanders (a province of Belgium), which province I have not discovered yet...

Lokeren (Municipality, Province of East Flanders, Belgium)

At last - Why is Belgium allowed so many flags - does each citizen get their own??!!

This is not a country flag... but there is one on it (which is a clue).

Here's a clue...

The 'flag' on the 'flag' is, of course, that of Scotland.

... and that is a chalice on the right and a 'book' on the left. I can see a fish of some type on the cross-like shape in the middle...

Just in case you cannot see it, the rest of the flag is white around the emblem.

Zooming in on the crest in the middle of the flag and reading the words, I would say this is the flag of the venerable country of

MINO LOOM AMAPI ZXWWGLE IW ASA !

- am I right or am I right??












okay I admit it - it does not zoom very well lol.

That is definately an African shield in the middle... still searching.

So does such equipment exist or is it just too expensive for most SOC departments?

Most of the CSi series equipment exists, but it is very expensive.

we get all the equipment we need for our usual scenes, if we require anything special we can call in specialist departments that provide assistance to every force in the country.

I may not be able to post for a while - I got called out last night for a murder, so may be busy for a few days. :( I can hardly keep my eyes open!

It is 04:56 now and I am going home to bed after a long night and a long journey - the murder scene was not on my usual patch, due to another murder in the same town the usual officers were already busy.

Take care and I will see you in a few days.
