Purchasing Flare Packs

[canman]

I have set of a few flares over the years on bonfire night. In the eightys, you could buy a £1 pack of out of date flares/rockets etc: at the sail makers on the quayside. There would be a couple of rockets, 4 red flares, a couple of smoke bombs. The rockets went off with a hell ov a whoosh and quite a bit of recoil, but nothing to deter me setting off another. All done a long way from the coast though. Never had a dud neither.
As a kid, and when I first started work in the sixties, people used to set off massive aluminum cased parachute flares which traveled a long way. I some times found them smashed through slated roofs around Blyth. These things measured about 3ft before launch.

I think thats as good a price as you will get Richie, plus free container as well.
Mine are due for renewal so I will get some ordered up on Monday, thanks for doing the research work as well.
I always retain the out of date ones on board, the theory is to set them off first in an emergency then the in date ones.

I have already fired all my old ones on new years eve, only had 1 out of 8 not go off.

I ordered them above today, was going to get a Hanson pack but less for more.

That's the set that I have too Richy, but not for such a keen price

Yer i searched for awhile for the best prices, next best was £102 i could find...i ordered them after reading the reviews.

Since i am dont have or need any new rods,reels, traces or lures at least a new flare set means i have something new on the boat this year 11 weeks until the first trip

Well flares come today and happy with them thou need to find a new spot on the boat to keep them as my current store area is not the correct size for the new rocket flares.
