Description
The Message Carrying Flame Float Mk I is almost identical to the Navigation Flame Float Mk II in dimensions and construction. The essential difference is that a message container is suspended in the buoyancy chamber by a fixing wire secured to a plug, which is screwed into a bush in the tail cone. The plug is provided with a handle to facilitate its removal from the bush, and a washer on the plug insures a water-tight joint. An arrow and the words MESSAGE HERE are painted on the tail cone to direct attention to the message.
