This is the City of Hull letting off steam last year at the great D fair.
Winch wire got rapped around the one way value (I think).
Plus, just wanted to see if i could post a picture here (first time).
Hope it worked. Very Happy

Hi Whitchway,

I see you are only a few miles from me. Are you building? and do you get to any of the local events? If so come and find me and say hello.

Cheers Kev.

This mishap was covered in Old Glory, I understand there was a few moments of controlled panic while the fire was dropped and they worked out what has happened.

Not that far away when things got interesting (yes, the sun did shine that day).

Here is the story as reported in Old Glory, will be the talk of the field for may years to come I am sure. I prefer your picture though.

It looked and sounded very spectacular from where Tim and I were at the top of the hill.
