Yes...despite the best efforts of Eurotunnel we finally got to the Alps three days late! Skiiing good. Travel less so.

You are probably right about the signal pistol. I suspect the dinghy pack example would have not been regularly used, if at all. My money would certainly be on it having come from the cockpit. A pity I don't any longer have a trail back to the original source!
