Quando scrisse A Life in Movies Powell ebbe l’accortezza di spiegare che la Red Ensign (“rhymes with ‘tocsin’”) era il vessillo della marina mercantile britannica. Negli anni Ottanta la cantieristica non era più un’industria nazionale ed erano poche le navi mercantili che battevano quella bandiera.
