It would appear they are legal :Giggle
Not sure, but mine added to the fun on bonfire night!
see a few floating around on ebay occasionally. But they are supposed to be removed upon arrival to the UK.
It is not illegal to have a hand flare in your possesion, but if questioned by the boyz in blue why you have one I expect they would like a valid reason. The flares usually disappear during transit so you would be lucky to get one still in the car.
The company I work for buy and sell flares, smokes and para rockets. They hold the distribution rights for all Hanson pyro products in the UK. Having been on an ADR course myself, I would not advice using any out of date pyro products at all. Believe me I have seen the damage they can do to people just in pictures alone. Not very nice sights. If you get one be very careful if you let it off......cheers Leigh.
cheers guys - had a look at old posts after i posted...
MENTAL NOTE - Graeme use the \'SEARCH\' function before asking daft questions! :Hammer
