I found bloody all sorts in my garden this morning! And not just our stuff!!

Found a few 'Rising Eagle' Rockets from Dynasty, 1 on the floor, 1 in a bucket and 1 on our shed roof (all from next doors fireworks).

I was worried aswell about 6:00pm yesterday evening, I went out onto the garden and found a huge rocket stick stuck at least 20cm into the grass in the middle of the lawn, it wasn't ours, and could have hurt lol!

Our cars, back garden, driveway and the street outside were covered in cardboard, powder and rockets sticks this morning!

The lawn was scorched aswell. Never had that much fallout from our fireworks before on Bonfire Night!

I love it.

Almost all of the small rockets have their motor pressed into plastic casings and have done for a few years. The propellant is very fast BP and it stops the grain cracking from shrinkage that you could get with cardboard and therefore stops CATO's.

Large rockets generally use an aluminium case.
