In Aldi, no-one can hear you shop

Hot on the heels of Woodsys fabulous prop shot in Quatermass, a recent screening of Alien:Covenant appears to show that old Ridley is shopping down market for his FX. In a scene towards the end, one of the crew deposits a distress beacon on the ground, which I spotted as two car warning lights stuck together with a cylinder on top. I picked one of these up in Aldi a few months back for a couple of quid, not because its magnetic, has several flash sequences and extra bright lighted LEDs which cycle around, but because it was cheap and looked cool! Looks like the Alien crew thought so too!
