If that's so then I was misinformed - fair doos... I do remember that the medium was missing from one of the recorders they brought up from AF447, and that "pinger" part was also missing in the photos. I'm a wee bit confused now...

[EDIT : GIMF - It's the big red cylinder holding the media, the little grey one is the pinger, as you say. ]
