A QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTS - "An interesting fact that you missed out is that the film return capsules weren't solid metal. They had a salt plug in them that meant if the aircraft recovery wasn't successful and they couldn't get a boat out to the required location then after a few hours the capsules would take on water and sink into the depths."
