	14:12, 10 May 2006	Nickshanks	1,200×600	915 B	(Pumbaa80's latest flag, with extraneous bytes removed and the id amended (no spaces allowed in IDs).)

	23:52, 30 April 2006	Dbenbenn	1,200×600	985 B	(Simpler SVG code, based on Pumbaa's second exact flag. The clipPath isn't necessary, and most shapes can fit exactly in the flag rectangle. Also, use a correct DOCTYPE declaration for valid SVG.)
	23:10, 30 April 2006	Pumbaa80	1,200×600	1 KB	(Source code slightly improved.)
	21:54, 30 April 2006	Pumbaa80	1,200×600	1 KB	(exact version)
	18:02, 30 April 2006	Dbenbenn	1,200×600	1 KB	(More accurate rotation angle. Also, simplify SVG code slightly.)
	00:40, 30 April 2006	Jacobolus	1,200×600	1 KB	(ok, not messed up now. uses rotated rects not complex polygons)
	23:53, 29 April 2006	Jacobolus	1,500×750	1 KB	(rv for now. minor screwup)
	23:51, 29 April 2006	Jacobolus	1,200×600	1 KB	(new version which uses rotated rects not complicated polygons)

	02:03, 2 February 2006	Dbenbenn	1,500×750	1 KB	(Here's a version for use on blue ensigns. The image is exactly the same, but the SVG code has been redone to work around bugs in rsvg. (See talk page for more info.) By me, PD)

	17:43, 14 January 2006	Nickshanks	600×300	1 KB	(Could probably make it smaller still by using rects instead of paths for the england crosses.)
	17:17, 14 January 2006	Nickshanks	600×300	2 KB	(Hand‐compressed further still.)
