Another present from FDFS captain Hans van Heijningen: the former flag of Leimuiden, Zuid-Holland province:
Flagdescription: Blue with 9 yellow lozenges, placed in the sense of the flag, ordered in 2 rows, respectively of 5 and 4; the center of the first row at 1/3 of flaglength, the second row connected; a lozenge of 1/7 flagheight and 3,5 flaglength; and all lozenges of the first row of 6/7 flagheight.
Adopted 19 Nov 1971 by municipal resolution, after advice by the Stichting Banistiek en Heraldiek.
This is the image of the Leimuiden arms, turned 90 degrees.
Source: Vexilla Nostra VI (1971): 183.
The coat of arms is probably based on the arms of the van der Does-family. The Koffie Hag album has 9 red lozenges on white, The flag on this page is probably based on that (probably erroneous) image.
