Skyburst

Hi all, just thought i would let you know of a fantastic place to buy all your chemicals/tubes/metals etc from. http://www.pyrosupplies.moonfruit.com has a great range of items and the delivery is super fast, typically if you order before 12 noon you'll recieve the item the next day

Also a really helpful guy, email him with any questions and he'll respond within the hour, you'll have to register on the site to see all the chemicals and stuff but its quick and easy.

Hope this was helpful to some of you.

Im sure many of you must have heard about the Bristol Balloon Fiesta and more importantly the fireworks that acompany the night glows on the thursday and saturday nights. I am lucky enough to know the director of Skyburst TFC through his son . Each year i like to go up on the firing hill and just check out all the pyro that's going to be fired in that nights display, this year was no exeption. I joined Alan and the crew on the Thursday afternoon and managed to take many photos of the set up process. Alan informed me that this year thursday night's display will not contain any cakes or candles but will be a pure Shell show. The display would be using shells sized from 3" all the way up to 6" Thursdays show would involve around 600 shells being fired in 8 minuits and 19 seconds. Below are a few of the photos i took on the hill and a link to the actual display.

Sorry for the overdose of pictures, i tend to get a bit carried away when it comes to pyro

Hope some of you find this interesting, go easy on me, its my first post
