Hi Guy's
I fly the red ensign from the stern, ( Being ex navy) If I pass another british grey funel line and I dip it( I am supposed to) they are obliged to dip therir own. Even if it's an arcraft carrier and Im only in a 20 foot sailer.
It actually happened while I was active.

The courtesy ( spelt wron) flag is flown from your starboard flag halyard.

This is UK rules.
Except for certain positions or clubs it is illegal to deface the red ensign with any other motife.
