[Flag for Vestlandet] by Jan Oskar Engene

Description of the flag

The flag mentioned by Andersson [Andersson 92] [Andersson 94] is a variation on the flag of Norway by reversing the colours of the cross. The flag was proposed in 1972 (I would like to know by whom, but Andersson does not tell us), and has the same proportions as the Norwegian flag. I live in Bergen, the 'capital' of Vestlandet, but I have never come across this flag except in Andersson's writing.

Geography

Vestlandet is made up of the counties Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane; sometimes the counties of Rogaland and Møre og Romsdal are also included.
