Horizontal blue over yellow was the information Shipmate received on
21 Jul 1995 from the municipality of Vught. On our site we show both the
horizontal and vertical variants.

According to "Wie, Wat, Waar? 1940", an annual published by the
Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad in Nov. 1939, the flag of Vught was: square chequy
of red and white; in the canton a blue square, charged with the municipal
arms.
This is a parading flag, used in 1935 at the 750th birthday of 's-Hertogenbosch.

Old arms: azure, an inescutcheon or a lion rampant azure, below a key
standing in pale, with on both sides a church, and over two palm-leaves
in saltire, all or.
This was replaced in 2001 by a new, even more complicated one.
