The key thing - Heloise then realised that she could fire the flare another way - showing innovation, flexibility and increasing collective resilience

To play devils advocate, what happens if your other hand is doing something else, i.e. holding rifle/ wireless etc? Not wanting to pick a fight, but perhaps its not always possible to have both hands free.

Incidentally, I’m also rubbish at firing mini flares with one hand. Two hands for me!

Only ever saw them fired after dinners in the mess - usually indoors!

I’m male and have average sized hands. I am also shit at firing mini flares, because they are just a bit shit.

What was she doing firing a mini flare on the range? Aren't they only meant to be fired in your office or whilst sitting in a canoe in the mess swimming pool?
