Availability of loud fireworks in the UK?

23 November 2015 - 10:44 AM

Morning all,

 

I'm conducting a study of thunder reports in the UK. Fireworks are often mistaken for thunder (a "false positive" in our data). Do you have any sense (or even data) of when loud, booming fireworks, such as rockets, became widespread in the UK? From personal experience, I'd have guessed around the 1980s, but that could have been quite a regional thing.

 

Thanks all, Matt.
