of course,
it would have been developed sooner, because of the union of the crowns (i'm a fool). but they'd have been english, not british, because it was still a little early for that, although they might have flown the union jack, yes.

I didn't pay much attention to the fine detail of the film...
...but did the flags flown have the red cross of St Patrick?

Checked the trailers on the official website...
...and there is definitely a Union Jack sans St Patrick cross.
Yay for little bits of historical accuracy.
