Flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia

The flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, a British Overseas Territory on the island of Cyprus, is the United Kingdom's Union Jack. Akrotiri and Dhekelia, officially the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, comprises two military bases and their hinterland and, uniquely among British Overseas Territories, has no flag of its own.
== History ==

The island of Cyprus was a British protectorate 1878-1914, under British military administration 1914-1922, then a Crown Colony 1922-1960. From 1922, the colonial flag of British Cyprus was in use throughout the island, including the areas now comprising Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Upon Cypriot independence in 1960, when the colonial flag ceased to have official usage, the territory of the Sovereign Base Areas was also established. However, no distinctive flag was created for Akrotiri and Dhekelia and no grant of arms by the College of Arms on which to base a Blue Ensign-type flag common to most British Overseas Territories. As a result, the Union Jack became the flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia by default.
The Union Jack is flown over all official buildings in Akrotiri and Dhekelia as well as at border checkpoints. The Royal Air Force Ensign was sometimes used as a de facto flag locally because the Royal Air Force ran the bases and also because of local sensitivity towards the Union Jack.〔
Together with Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Akrotiri and Dhekelia is the only British Overseas Territory without an official flag.
