    I think someone has made a few of those up.. I looked into your flags as well Adrian and I can’t find any reference to the first flag or the middle two in terms of maritime signalling. I was hoping to find the hidden message but..

      I had the same problem when I researched the flag meanings, would have been nice to get a secret/funny meaning. Wonder if the owners think there is a message?
