"The Royal Navy is selling its trademark White Ensign logo to appear on products ranging from clothes to computer games in what it says is an attempt market its "quality brand" to potential young recruits."

I think (as a marketing man), it is an apalling idea, the white ensign is not a brand, it devalues instantly when slapped across consumer products. I do not see what it would bring to a product anyway.
This smacks of creative consultants (non-elected) in government trying to justify huge fees.

You've obviously seen the long term plans for Raleigh!!

Having said that I noticed a couple of yachts in Portsmouth the other day flying the ensign. I don't know the RNSA rules for this, but it strikes me as odd that anybody is allowed to fly a Service ensign on a private yacht.
