When Millenium first introduced the Bazooka tube, the rockets were superb for their size and price (very much like the old Comet rockets). However the recent ones from TNT are not so hot - still rise to a good height, but far weaker breaks with few stars.

(Standard's Hawk rockets, as someone said, were also very good for their size)

I don't think so...

Good old Paul . That video brings back happy memories. Yes, it was an FF gig with Paul in charge. I fired everything with a Pyromate P45 on the slope in front of Ally Pally. The worst thing was that we had four displays to fire, each one minute long, and after firing two of them the organisers said they had what they needed on film and we had to derig the rest (and there were a lot of 5 and 6" shells left over) .

There's also what looks to be a set identification string - presumably that indicates which set of photos to include in the slide show.

Epic has sent me a PM asking if I can sort it out....... but I've just come back from some days away on a kind of conference and I've work to do for tomorrow (Sunday)..... so I can't do anymore with this puzzle for now. Anyway, I'm not sure I can get anyfurther with identifying which photos Epic meant to show us.... none of the numbers tally with the publicly visible photo id's in Epic's set. The reference to 71649 takes me to a 2001 U2 tour! So it's back to Epic to tell us what we're supposed to be looking at......

Our advanced check out system works out the NEC automatically.
