Coming home from a show in the small hours isn't something I've done for many years, but last week was a reminder of bygone days of long drives and midnight motorway service stations. As FF's unofficial chief photographer I like to give our clients a memento of their show and our latest outing took me out to deepest Lincolnshire. The event was an RAF Graduation Ball capped by flypasts of planes, parachutists and pyrotechnics. This was the middle leg of three shows in a busy week to bring April to an action-packed finish. As the 'lucky' fireworks company we brought the good weather with us as usual, and with a bright half-moon shining high over ahead it was a perfect night to wow the 700-strong audience. Afterwards a delighted organiser surprised and delighted us by arriving with five glasses and a bottle of champagne. Rarely do we get this well treated!
