I got gold sparklers for the kiddies! (now my brain has gone to sleep and i cant remember if non colour sparklers produce white or golden sparks)
anyone?

oh yeah loving the fireworks code! thats exactly what i was thinking of doing especially after seeing pics of the 100mm minster mine going off that i got probably skip the count to three though! lol just run run run

I think with the name some are a little confused.

This post is about shell packs that come with a mortar tube in a box surely?

There still sold just not in the uk any more but they definatly were as I remember buying shells myself.

shells up to 3" (and maybe 4") used to be sold to the general public but the first year I was old enough to buy them (well actually afford them) was the last year they wer allowed as cat 3 and I remember reading of the headmaster accident that contributed to their reclasification.

David.... They are just as shells are now I believe though I apreciate I never bought these specific units so could be mistaken.

yes thats right i was referring to shells that come with a mortar tube in a box!
I have only seen them in pictures so how do they rate up to other aerial bursts? ie are they bigger more impressive than larger cat3 rockets or 30mm cakes? i would imagine that they are packed with the good stuff!

thanks i like the bbq lighter, think i will get 1 in case i run out of portfires!

I believe they were banned from sale in 1997, following two accidents, one of which invloved a Headmaster if you click the link it takes you to the story.

I agree with what the posters above have said- they are very dangerous- searches of this years news acrhieves and You Tube will help you find out more.

thats tragic......thanks i will check out da youtube!
