The Standard fireworks Dizzle dazzle bang was one of the fireworks i only saw once or twice many years ago but it was very good as i remember from being a kid.
does any one have any info ect on this piece of history

I thought that I was familiar with most Standard fireworks from the 60's, 70's & 80's but I cannot remember the Dizzle dazzle bang. What year / years do you remember it from? Could you describe the effect? Cheers.

I remember seeing it in the 80's it was a 3 tube affair like their airbomb battery's and was green and white. I cant for the life in me remember what the effects were only one that i was watching was quite loud, i just remember it as being good.

Thought this might help. I've only got a picture of one in its original bag. It is definitely from the 1980s.

Nice one Firefiend (is that another one from your collection?? ).

Standard were the biggest consumer supplier around here (North East) but unfortunately I dont remember it. Presumably it was a roman candle / air b**b combination?

Hi Rip Rap.

About 4 years ago I actually acquired a full shop box of the large Standard Fireworks of the type that came on plywood frames / stakes. The whole box comprised of:

Brilliant Sun - Size 25
Coloured Bouquet Roman Candle - Size 15
Devil Amongst the Tailors - Size 12
Dizzle Dazzle Bang - Size 12
Morning Sunrise - Size 20
Roulette - Size 9
Spring Magic - Size 15
Star Shell Battery - Size 9
Turbo Jet - Size 15

It was as original, complete with wood shaving packing and plastic bags - straight out of the 80s. Unfortunately these were too big for my collection, so I exchanged them with another collector. All I have now is the photographs!

I don't remember the effect, but I can definitely recall the label, seeing it here jogged my memory. From looking at the picture, the writing on the label states the following:


Emits SCREAMER CLUSTER
with Screecher ?Scream? & Air Bomb
DRIVE THE WOODEN POST INTO THE
GROUND, AT A SLIGHT ANGLE AWAY
FROM SPECTATORS. LIGHT THE BLUE
TOUCHPAPER AT ARMS LENGTH.
STAND WELL BACK, NOT TO BE HELD

Made in England
Standard Fireworks PLC Huddersfield

I can't be absolutely certain, but looking close up at the original photo, I think it says 'Emits Streamer Cluster' to start with.

Yes - looks like "streamer" I think. Can any of the old "company" workers who frequent here shed any more light on the effect?
