The present NZ Flag future looks terminal and could become a collectors item as there is a growing movement in NZ to get rid of it or I should say the Union Flag bit in the corner! The Fern Leaf appears to be a favourite which a friend of mine had painted on the side of his Stirling Bomber when he flew with 75sq.during the War!
Looking up the Fishing regulations it looks like the vessel in question should have had a number painted on her NE, although I am a bit puzzled why the Coastguard did not enforce it.
