I have recently come across this british mod 1990 aircraft 11 man inflatable liferaft and am wondering if it contains a ration. If it doesnt contain a ration I will keep it as it is but if it does I will pull the cord and eat it. Cant find much online

I have no idea about the ration inside....but when you pull the cord can you film it or take pictures?...This lifeboat emergency kit is awesome! I would put money on it having boiled sweets and carb tablets. Maybe a fishing kit? Super cool find!

From my (very quick) research, it seems like this is probably American, possibly canadian or australian. I don't think its British. I also dont think it has anything else in it, from what I can tell, it is just an inflatible life raft. It also says no 'E' (emergency?) pack. I'd still open it though if I were you

Following on from what CAP said, these probably arent british, there is no NSN and as far as I know, no lifeboat rations have been procured for a while

Will wait for the weather to get better then I will pull the cord. I should've thought it was american as it was found on an ex usaf base

will make sure to post a video of me pulling the cord and if there is any sort of ration/ survival kit inside
