Wow... Quite a display! Quite a holiday!

Whilst I was watching the video of the factory tour, I noticed a lot of what look like short strings of large firecrakcers, except they seemed to be rigid. There are a load spread on a campbed in the video at 2 mins 30 seconds. What are they?

Those spiked sperical shells look pretty good, I think. They may not work any better than pasted ones (or maybe they do, I don't know) but from a pre-launch aeshtetics point of view, I reckon they win hands down!

Those that you see are drivers for their Irdieden, they are strung onto a piece of wood and the quickmatched so that when one runs our the next fires. Quite clever really! Yes those spiked shells are rather nice, they give a nice round burst. I actually have a 4inch built loaded with silver spinners! I will post up the vid when i fire it, its a paper shell strung with linen twine and pasted over twice.

Hi....not a lot a can add really, except to echo what Paul & Karl have already said, except to say that you guys did a great job of covering the trip. Glad you didnt rely on me for pics & video footage!!

Ive already posted this, but in the wrong thread :blush: so i will post it here also, which is where it should have been posted originally. The winning display can be found here:
