    That (Pains)Wessex brand is familiar to me as the producer of certain military hand launched parachute flares.

    Google doesn't have any photos to share, but a rocket powered line thrower seems right up their alley.

    Darren they are a big manufacture of Pyrotechnics, not sure on the Military side but a big supplier of Emergency equipment to the Marine Industry such as parachute flares etc. Most of the kit in a Lifeboat and Liferaft are supplied by them.
