Here is a display of flags and burgees atop a Tasman Empire Airways Limited flying Boat (New Zealand's International Airline at the time) in the late 1940s. The Burgees feature the Airlines symbol at the time (The Marero, Flying Fish. Also the Royal Mail with George VI Cypher. The Flags are the British Civil Ensign and from the best of my research the letter C signal flag.
