Thanks dragonkin,

Don't think I would ever have got it and it was so frustrating cause it was the only one I was stuck on.

cheers

It's the P flag. And it's blue (with a white centre)

Flown on a ship in harbour, it means "All aboard, the ship is about to leave harbour"

It is also the "preparatory flag" used for racing.
