Possible changes to UK flag signals

[Peter Scillitoe]

MSA have gone out to public consultation today about possible changes to UK flag signals. Have only read the information quickly this evening, but would appear they are looking at:

(a) Changing Waved Yellow to Double Waved Yellow.
(b) Changing Stationary Yellow to Single Waved Yellow.
(c) Stationary Green becomes waved.
(d) Reintroduction of Battenburg Flag (or Code 60 to our continental cousins).

Apart from making safety car crews redundant (and I express a personal interest here), with low manning levels will be interesting to see how many marshals can wave two flags at the same time, particularly on a windy or wet day. Also, will this really make a difference to racing speeds in yellow flag zones. I'll get my coat.
