I thought it would be cool to have an antenna topper with the Union Jack design, but the only one I seem to find looks like the red cross symbol and is labeled as the British Flag.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

If it weren't for Steve McQueen, James Dean would be the coolest guy ever.

Thanks, Ken.

I emailed that company a while ago but they never responded. I'll try again.

Carlo,

In reply to # 3049481 by CarloM I thought it would be cool to have an antenna topper with the Union Jack design, but the only one I seem to find looks like the red cross symbol and is labeled as the British Flag.


FWIW the flag of England, (not British flag) is a White background with a Red cross, (Cross of St George), as you wrote. This together with the Cross of St Patrick, (Ireland) and the Cross of St Andrew (Scotland) overlay create the United Kingdom (UK flag) you know as the Union Jack.

I know, this is boring stuff but ........................ winking smiley

I did not know that, Bruce.

At least the way they labeled their antenna topper is correct.

Thanks.

That's kinda cool, thanks. What I'm hoping to locate is one where the entire ball is covered with the design. Not much luck with that, though.
Gotta admit I'm glad this is the extent of my "to-do" list for the MG ... uh oh, shouldn't have said that ...

Might go to an arts and crafts place and get the stuff to make one. Shouldn't be too difficult.

You did it, Norman.

I found a site that sells ping pong balls, and I put the union jack on it. I was able to cstomize it, also.

Thanks for the suggestion. smileys with beer
