The Royal Air Force Ensign is the official flag that is used to represent the Royal Air Force. The ensign has a field of air force blue, with the United Kingdom's flag in the canton and the Royal Air Force's roundel in the middle of the fly.
The RAF Ensign was introduced in 1921, after some opposition from senior members of the Royal Navy. Various countries' air force ensigns have been based on the RAF's ensign. Currently, it is flown from the flagstaff of every Royal Air Force station during daylight hours, and it has been permanently displayed on the Cenotaph in London since 1943.
