Would these scummers in Devon nick stuff from a crashed aircraft or lorry as well?

Everyone is correct - extended=down.........you can land without flaps extended - not advisable, but possible and in small aircraft, up to pilot discretion - flaps can also be extended (partially down usually) for takeoffs - one would only do this for short field takeoffs in small/light aircraft.
Commercial jets also take off with flaps partially down to produce maximum lift - flap position(s) during takeoff and landing have everything to do with manufacturer specifications (ops specs) weight, wind, and runway length.....hope that helps.

The flaps are down for landing. Flaps make drag to slow the plane for landing and steepen the descent without increasing the airspeed. More throttle is required to maintain airspeed above stalling and keep up engine speed if a go around is necessary.

How do aircraft fly inverted?

Flaps fully extended are all flaps all the way full down. When the flaps are fully retracted then they are fully up.
