Flags Of British Colonies

Akrotiri and Dhekelia, is a British Overseas Territory on the island of
Cyprus that comprises two military bases. The Base Areas of Akrotiri and
Dhekelia has no official flag of its own and as a result is represented by
the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Jack.

The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory on the island of Cyprus. The areas, which include British military bases and installations, as well as other land, were retained by the British under the 1960 treaty of independence. The territory serves an important role as a station for signals intelligence and provides a vital strategic part of the United Kingdom surveillance-gathering network in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Alternative Flag:
A green flag charged with two gold lions is often cited as an unofficial flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. This is the flag used by the Dhekelia Garrison, itself derived from the colonial flag of Cyprus.
The two lions are from King Richard I of England's coat of arms, because of his conquest and creation of the Kingdom of Cyprus.
