If registered in Britain or other Red Ensign group territory then vessel must be owned by persons or corporate entity 'native' to that territory and should fly red ensign. When a corporate entity is the owner then the shareholders/beneficial owners of it may well be foreigners or even damned foreigners (if Russian, double damned, foreigners the probably no longer allowed this privilege).
(When the true owners of a Manx registered vessel is Manx. The the ensign may be (should be?) 'defaced' with the Manx Triskelion).
The category of vessel that is allowed to be registered in each jurisdiction is not universal. The registry staff and supporting administration must be judged competent by the UK DTp of Flag responsibilities of each class concerned.
