Tony Burton's article returns to the Australian Ensign of 1832, with important new archival evidence shedding new light on the contribution by John Bingle to the development of Australia's unofficial national flag. Jonathan Dixon's article is an expansion on his lecture to the 22nd International Congress of Vexillology, held in Berlin August 2007. It provides new information on the flags of Papua New Guinea prior to independence and other Australian territory flags. New flags in Kosovo and Iraq are reviewed together with a letter to the editor, information on a historical Victorian flag and a tribute to Elaine Peters, one of the founders of the Flag Society of Australia.
