Got this recently for my flare collection.Used but in GC, very hard to find. I think they were aircrew issue? Cheers Tig
 
Hi Tony, just found this pic on here from way back of a tin I have in my collection. I can't access to it at the moment, but hope of some interest.

Hi Tig,
Is this the flare that goes inside those black tins that are everywhere ? I have seen a picture of one but as you say, they are rare to find in the flesh.
