Description
The Target Rocket Flare Mk 1 Mod 0 is used with the 3.25-inch Rocket Targets Mk 10 and Mk 11.
A pyrotechnic candle, secured into a wooden body, is housed in a steel tube. An electric squib is located over the starter composition of the candle. A steel cup shields the ignition end of the flare, and squib leads are coiled inside the nose cap.
Functioning
Tear off the adhesive strip and remove the cover. Place the flare over the nose of the rocket, and uncoil the squib leads. Fasten the alligator clips to the cotter pins of the leads, and fire.
