The double-E mark originated as the new owner’s desk doodle. The flag is vertically blue-white-blue with black italic EE in the centre. Brown does not specify the blue shade, so E108 reflects the artist’s choice. Ships in Focus, quoting Loughran, specifies light blue: E502 is official, while E503 is also reported. The source notes slight differences in letter and band sizes from E108, using W502 at that point.
