49mm DISPLAY CANDLES

Included in our latest Fireworks Delivery were our new 49mm Display Candles. Not the usual 47mm candles you see being used around the UK these days - these bad boys are right up to the MAX size we're allowed under the current regulations [a 50mm candle would be classified as 1.1G and therefore useless for normal UK purposes or storage].There are 2 types of these large candles currently available from us - I'll upload some video in the next week or so - but they're both amazing. One is Red Crackling Tail with Green Strobe Mine & the other is Blue Comet with Silver Wave Tail and Red Strobe Mine. Both items were designed and manufactured exclusively for Hi-5 Fireworks.

MAERSK SHIP & FIREWORKS ALMOST HERE

Looking at the image above you can see that the Maersk Sydney (the anchor symbol at the bottom of the map) is nearly here. It was just South of Hastings at 7am this morning and it's heading to Felixstowe which is at the top of the map. Using the scale you can see that it's only about 70 Nautical Miles away and at it's top speed of around 28 knots that would only take about 3-4 Hours including the enormous distance it takes to slow down such a huge vessel.

NEW FIREWORKS VIDEOS ADDED

We now have 16 videos on the website showing a small selection of our CAT4 [Professional] fireworks - we stock loads more than this and they're just for a general guidance on the effects - you need to see them in real life to get a proper feel for them all !

MAKER'S MARK BOURBON

How cool is this ?? During our last couple of China Trips we developed something of a taste for the world’s best Bourbon ie. Maker’s Mark. So much so that we decided to have a barrel all to ourselves ;-) The image above is actually the Barrel Dedication Certificate complete with wax seal. Our barrel is number 796704.

NEW FIREWORK VIDEOS ADDED

I’ve added some more videos taken recently of some of our CAT4 [Professional] Fireworks. There are a couple of shells and various large 30mm cakes in the videos. When the new fireworks get here we will add some more videos to demonstrate the amazing new items we’ve imported for the first time into the UK.

MAERSK SYDNEY

Our fireworks are on a ship called the Maersk Sydney which will soon arrive in the UK. This massive vessel can carry hundreds of shipping containers at once as you can see from the picture. You can even track it's progress yourself at www.vesseltracker.com - to do this you will need the ship's IMO number which is 9289958.
