As for your second point in my experience most people I have worked with who are flagging because we are short won't use the blue flag at all as they are not confident in it's use.

I have to agree with Deley on this!
Also surely the only way to really appreciate the use of flags (for a trainee) is to have a go.
Every time I flagged as a trainee a 'real' flaggie was nearby keeping an eye.
I'm sure we can go on with the merits of each other's roles, needless to say we work together, ie whereas I don't prefer to (and avoid it when possible) flag, especially blue, I don't expect the flaggie to grab a broom at the end of session, when I was 'spectating' the race, whilst he was doing his semaphore bit.
Of course if he does pick up the broom first I'd not protest!
