You'll be lucky mate, bet you have to look a long way out from Waddington!

Lovely display, sadly no big bangs as apparently they weren't ready for her, even though she was running late (not her fault though).
I'm sure people who were there can tell you more :)

The pyro team didn't have time to rig up what they needed for Saturday, because of 558s late declaration of serviceability.
