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 Having been on an ADR course myself, I would not advice using any out of date pyro products at all.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.
