From the Singha Beer source:
The Flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Airforce (B.E.2482) [_1939 AD_]
This is a rectangular blue flag, its height measuring 5/2 of its length. In the middle stands a flaming yellow Chakkra, flanked on either side by a pair of yellow wings. Above the Chakkra itself stands the Royal Crown.The flag first made an appearance following a Royal Decree, issued in B.E.2479 [_1936 AD_], concerning flags. It was known as the "Flag of Commander-in-Chief of the Airforce". Nowadays, however, use of the flag has been discontinued.
Again the description seems to imply ratio 2:5, whereas the image shows a 2:3 (or rather 17:25) flag.

This site seems to indicate that the Commander-in-Chief's flag is still in use and that it may have a small ornamental border.

It does have a yellow border. My former website (now sadly closed down) used to have a photo of a Change of Command ceremony which clearly showed the yellow border.
Miles Li, 02 Sep 2003
The Flag Act of 1979 (Chapter 3, Section 31) confirms that all sides of the flag have a yellow border.
