.................................... Announcing the Hippy :hippy2: Chippy's "UNDER TWO ENSIGNS" Lapel Pin Project...

This should be of interest to many of our Members, (particularly those who joined the RAN prior to March 1st 1967,) which, judging by the average age would include of most of our Members....

:givein: Image :salute1:

On the morning of the 1 March 1967 the Australian National Line cargo ship Boonaroo was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy for war service. This event in itself is not unusual as merchant ships
have been requisitioned by navies for centuries. What made this particular commissioning noteworthy is that Boonaroo was the first vessel to be commissioned under a distinctly Australian White Ensign.

:givein: Image :salute1:
...................................................HMAS Boonaroo, the first 'naval' vessel to hoist the Australian White Ensign on the 1st March 1967...

:givein: Image :salute1:
.................................... HMAS Vampire in Singapore on the 1st March 1967, down with the old, hoist up the new... and not a dry eye in the house...! :tear:

Thanks for your prompt response, Guys, I'll keep a running list :evil3: here (below),
which, after just 24 hours is already at 30-plus (not counting me,) justifying and
thus prompting me to begin formal enquiries/ quotes from a few manufacturers...

Those expressing an interest so far... (E.O.I.)

=; I'll follow up on Chuckles' post above, :laughing3: and provide info to his source if it
matches what I'm after. (BTW, I'm not seeking to be in competition with anyone,
however I feel my points about ranking the two ensigns in order, i.e., RN-WE on
the left, AWE on the right, and substituting 'ENSIGNS' for 'FLAGS' justifies my
suggestions for a new design...)
