Its Flag

Fiji has chosen its new flag.

It will have an air-force blue field with a Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Fiji coat-of-arms in the fly.

The $lOO prize (there were 410 designs for the flag) was shared by commercial artist, Mr. Robi Wilcock and house wife, Mrs. Murray Mackenzie, both of whom submitted the same design.

There will also be a special flag for the Governor-General.

It will probably be dark blue with the crest of a crown and a lion over it and the word “Fiji” below. This is understood to be the standard design in the Commonwealth.
