I'd call it a big succes. Especially the way you changed it into an educational picture.:tinysmile_shy_t:
 
Great stuff Colin.
I remember firing them on a night excersise on Catterick moor and setting the hill on fire. Oh how we laughed running around in the dark with beaters trying to put the flaming gorse bushes out,:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Excelent result Colin!! Obviously no suprises encountered in the process?

Thanks for posting this Colin thats a really good job you have done on that, interesting to see just how much stuff you can cram into a small ally tube. Whats next...

Hi, Thanks for the comments. I’m glad the posting was of some interest. Fire was always of concern over here too. I guess the army the world over always pick the best places to train (lots of tussock grass and barren land). I’ve had a lot of fun with these things in the past and felt they were worth the effort. Heck I reckon if they had an explosive charge instead of a flare they’d be the best toy ever:tinysmile_fatgrin_t. Cheers
