About the Fléchettes, from "Winds of destruction":
The French produced an anti-personnel warhead for 68mm SNEB rockets that incorporated thousands of tiny darts known as "Fléchettes". When the rockets were fired, they flew for just under one second before explosive charges burst warhead casings to release the flechettesinto very high speed free flight. A salvo of flechette-carrying SNEBs resulted in a dense cloud of lethal darts covering a large area of ground.Fléchettes used by RRAF were home made, designed by...Group Captain Petter-Bowyer, author of "Winds of destruction".
David, this is the book you need to read if you want to learn more about all those weapons.
Fléchette canister on the photo is just between the 30mm shells and the SNEB rocket pod.

Just wanted to know if they've got a web page with a shop, or where I could get them in Europe (Apart from Aviation megastore in NL, where the price of post & package is very, very expensive).

Dr Jekill is trying to makes me remember that I've failed to finish the GBs that I've joined previously, but Mr Hyde tells me "Go, go go!!!!".

The word fléchette in French means little dart (Dart => Flèche).
So if you talk about inventing them, you've got to go well beyond WW1.
Anyway, the RRAF weapon is closer from what you talk about than from the SNEB rocket variant.
