Flag of the Colony of Aden
The Flag of the Colony of Aden was used as the official flag for the British Colony of Aden from 1937 until 18 January, 1963. When it was renamed as the State of Aden, subsequently, the Flag of the State of Aden under the Federation of South Arabia, was used. However, there is evidence that the flag was used after 1963, in Perim and the Kuria Muria islands.[1]
It was a navy blue flag with the Union jack in the top left corner, which featured a badge similar to colonial Zanzibar, with a two-masted Arab dhow sailing on turquoise waters. It was designed by George Kruger Gray, of the Royal Mint.[1]
