The municipal flag of Chastre is blue with a semy of white billets and
a yellow diagonal stripe (per bend).
The flag follows a proposal made by
the Heraldry and Vexillology Council of the French Community, described in Armoiries communales en Belgique. Communes wallonnes, bruxelloises et germanophones as:
Bleu semé de billettes blanches et chargé d'une laize diagonale
descendante jaune.
The flag is a banner of the arms of the family of Onyn. These arms form one of the two shields of the municipal arms. The two-shield municipal arms are shown on the municipal website; the first shield is "Argent five rhombs gules placed 1+3+1".

Flag of Cortil-Noirmont, unconfirmed - Image by Ivan Sache, 22 April 2008
Once two independent municipalities, Cortil and Noirmont were merged to form the municipality of Cortil-Noirmont by (Dutch) Royal Decree on 1 March 1822.
A very short, engimatic video available on YouTube, labelled Inauguration : Le drapeau (Inauguration: The flag) shows a flag pole with the Belgian national flag and, below, a vertically divided white-blue flag. The "Info" box of the video says "Cortil-Noirmont" and nothing else.Ivan Sache, 22 April 2008
