Dunno if it was part of the curriculum but as above I definitely did it at school. Obviously modern schools are more concerned with British Values than they were in your day

Plus it's one of those thing my Mum also points out every time she sees a Union Flag…mostly cause my Grandad did.

In fact it's almost certainly this B17.

It was identified on a local Facebook group.

I have been treated to a chorus of "I was right!"

Nope, I've known about it for years, why wouldn't you know how to hang your countries own flag even if you've never actually done it
Why would I? Its not part of the curriculum and i've had no contact with flags, or putting them up on flag poles etc. Why would I come into contact with the info on it?

It's just one of those things that you should know, like putting the milk in tea last, jam on the scone first, putting your left shoe on first.

They did three circuits. The group of four headed back North a bit after.

I'm guessing two Spitfires and Hurricane in the group. But the others?

I know there's an event at Duxford, but we're miles from there (West Berkshire).

I think all the helicopters in the country are buzzing too and fro over my house. Noisy buggers.

(My local polo club are hosting an 'Aviation Challenge', not, as my wife suspected, that someone had blown up the next village to us or armed villains had been cornered in the Co-op.

).

I know about it and we certainly were not taught about it in school. Surprisingly I've never put a Union Flag on a flagpole either

It's just one of those bits of information I've picked up, one of the side effects of getting old i suppose

You've got to know how to fly it the right way up, otherwise how would you know how to fly it when you're in distress?

In addition to the helicopters ^^^ we've had a display with a couple of stunt biplanes (not Pitts) and cherry on top - a spitfire hooning about and coming over the back garden at not a lot of feet.
