Hi lorddyson,

You can find the symbols, or ensigns, of the British Armed Forces on
their respective websites.


-Royal Air Force-

Here you can see the bird at the top left-hand corner.

-Royal Navy-

The symbol is a white flag with a red cross. The British flag is in
the upper left-hand corner of the white flag.

That is useful but I am trying to dig deeper into why those symbols
are the way they are and how they evolved we want to make abstract
reference to the colour and form of the symbols in an art piece.
Can you go a little further?
