This afternoon, I was browsing through a firearms catalogue put out by a Sydney gun shop back in 1958 which I'd bought for 50c at a trash and treasure. I came across the following item:

Attention: Yachtsmen, Sailors & Graziers

12 Gauge Shotgun Emergency Flares

For safety at sea and destruction of eagles' nests

£1/10/6 per dozen plus rail freight.

I thought this information could be useful / interesting.
