Royal Air Force Ensign

Royal Air Force Ensign er det britiske luftvåbens flag. Det er lavet efter mønster af britiske maritime flag, de såkaldte red ensigns og blue ensigns. Det har fra disse forbilleder Storbritanniens unionsflag i kantonen af en flagdug som har luftvåbnets gråblå farve. Den britiske kokarde (identifikationsmærke for militærfly) er placeret i flagets frie ende.
Flaget blev indført i 1920.

- "the Southern Cross as a whole is angled away from the fly with the "Gama Crucis" positioned as for the Australian National Flag and "Alpha Crucis" positioned 1/6 of the width of the fly from the middle line of the fly and 1/6 of the width of the fly from the bottom edge."
