The original flag carried red “A.C.C.” letters on its central stripe. It continued to be illustrated after the name change, apparently into the post-war period: Brown 1951 still shows it.

Stewart & Styring (1963) is identified as the first reference to show the new flag. A black-and-white photograph of Ferryhill confirms the A147 funnel. Mitchell shows a wide white band; Rosanoski considers that the photograph may show a slightly wider band, but not one as wide as Mitchell’s.
