NO DANGER
Spectators held their breath at the beginning of the display as the starry aftermaths of each rocket drifted slowly towards the ground, but, as time passed, became more blase and showed little concern at the remote prospect of experiencing a minor blitz. A few sparks did land among the
onlookers, but there was never any prospect of their doing any damage. One or two small fires broke out in the lupins on the sandhills but these were in the danger area which was out of bounds to the crowd. Members of the Fire Brigade quickly extinguished the flames without having to use the lengths of hose which were laid across the ground as a precautionary measure.
