Yacht Club. Requested White Ensign defaced with portcullis. Burgee to be white
with crown(sic) and portcullis in red. [In rules described as coronet and
portcullis.]
24 June 1949. Admiralty regret unable to approve White
Ensign. No objection to defaced Blue Ensign or Red Ensign. Possible objection to
portcullis as Customs badge being changed to portcullis and chains surmounted by
crown.
