Introduction

I have been searching for Brunei flags and found the of the Ministry of Defence website. There is a square triband with a complicated emblem on that page — I don't know whether that's a flag. On this page are an emblem and a picture with some four flags (hardly visible). On this page badges of Royal Brunei Land Forces, Royal Brunei Navy, Royal Brunei Air Force, Royal Brunei Services Force, Training Centre Royal Brunei Armed Forces.

Armed Forces Flag

2:3
by Zeljko Heimer and Calvin Paige Herring

The military flag of Brunei starts with the basic yellow, black and white colored flag. A red stripe is added between the black and red stripe and the arms are replaced by the military forces badge. It has a 2:3 proportion, different from the national flag's proportion of 1:2. Sources: Smith 1980, Crampton 1989.

Calvin Paige Herring, 1 April 1998

Yellow flag with three diagonal stripes white over red over black, with Armed Forces' badge in the middle. The construction sheet details are in Album des Pavillons 2000, page BR 2.1, (1+4+4+4+11):(18+18). A coloured image of the badge is shown on Royal Brunei Armed Forces website, though the flag seems to use black and white version only.

Aircraft Marking

by Zeljko Heimer

Album des Pavillons 2000, page BR 2.1, shows the aircraft marking as four concentric discs of red, green, white and yellow.

Zeljko Heimer, 30 March 2001

The correction no. 1 to Album des Pavillons 2000, page BR 2.1, (...) shows a new design for the aircraft marking, with a larger yellow central disc and the other annuli accordingly narrower.

Fin Flash

by Dov Gutterman and Vincent Morley

From 1975 onward a fin flash of the national colors —yellow, white, black and red— is used. Source: Cochrane and Elliott 1998.

Dov Gutterman, 7 February 2000

A note to the figure of the aircraft marking in Album des Pavillons 2000, page BR 2.1, explains that the fin flash is painted in yellow-white-green-red (yellow in front). Any changes since 1998?
