I have been training in Kings Cross for the last few weeks now.

The atmosphere last week was very sad and the two minutes silence at midday today was very moving and quite eerie as London came to a complete standstill.

There is a real fighting and communal spirit in London. The true British will not let these evil people disrupt our normal, everyday lives!

Thanks for all the advice!

If I do use a burst charge containing chorates/ perchlorates, am I right in assuming that I cannot use stars that are composed with elements of sulphur in them (due to the obvious danger of mixing the two)?

Could someone please advise on a safe composition to use as a bursting charge inside a 2 inch shell/ rocket payload.

As I'm still learning I'd rather not delve into the world of flash powder and other sensitive comps too quickly.

I noticed earlier on in this post that a 50/50 KNO3/Mg mix worked well for a bursting charge. Is this a sensitive mixture? Are there any other bursting charges that I can make that don't involve chlorates or flake aluminium as I know these are particularly dangerous to use?

Thank you Richard. That was a very helpful summary!

Do you know what type of aluminium powders are sold by organisations such as labpak (I assume that they are more likely to be atomised than flake).

Thanks again,

Greg
