Last week I received confirmation of the municipality of Alkemade, that the flag of 1976 is still the official flag. The information on the municipal website is not completely correct. The municipality uses also an alternative logo-flag, sometimes next to, but also instead of the the official flag. I have corrected the flag-image basedc on a vector-drawing by Leen Limberg (of Shipmate) after a photo.
