I too thought of SA when watching Pointless this evening. Apparently the big elephant on the red background was only the Siamese flag from 1855 to 1916, so John, who identified it - not Peggy, who just said it had been brought back from the East the previous year - must have had a remarkable interest in foreign national flags both historic and contemporary.

Was AR's memory at fault, bearing in mind also that there was much less material available printed in colour to facilitate looking up obsolete flags, or was he colour blind?
