Asymptotic formulae for the number of rational points of bounded height on flag varieties have earlier been established. In the paper these asymptotic formulae are recovered by a new method for varieties in biprojective space defined over Q that are isomorphic to the flag variety of lines in hyperplanes. The result is obtained by an application of Heath-Brown's new form of the circle method. It serves as a pointer to the investigation of rational points of bounded height on varieties in multiprojective space.
