Michael Faul, 2004

It is with great sadness that we announce the death on 1 January 2019 of Michael Faul MA FF FFI, past Secretary of the Flag Institute and the long-time Editor of Flagmaster.

Michael was a dedicated servant of the Flag Institute and one of the leading authorities on flags in the immediate post-Crampton/Smith era.

In 2001 he organised the hugely successful ICV19 in his home city of York, celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the 1801-pattern Union Flag.

His final meeting was ICV27 in London in 2017, where he relished the opportunity to meet up again with friends worldwide.

All members of the Flag Institute mourn his passing and send their deepest condolences to his family and friends.
