Magic!  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

To avoid being shot at by some over zealous ack-ack gunners of the imperial navy?

Cast in the same mould as most Emirates airliners.

I must admit that I can't quite believe how well the lower Union Flag worked. I initially put a much smaller flag on 'across-ways' so that the flag would rise at the aircraft took off over you, but it looked lost. Then this flag was about 2mm too wide to fit across-ways so I rotated it and it just 'fit'. My overall reasoning was that if it works for commercial airlines then as a power projection exercise for the ruler of the largest empire on the world .... Make Way ....Here Comes THE Queen!!!

Useless fact time - if it was a real flag on a real Jumbo it'd be 9.9m (32ft 5.8 in) long and 6.3m (20ft 8in) high!  ;D
