    JTF Cascades is pretty good value for money, it's a rebadged Esco Rio Grande selection box, 3 small 19 shot cakes, some decent fountains, one 6 tube combo fountain, wheel, rockets etc, just an absence of mines. It's up £3 this year to £19.99 plus vat but still decent value for money, just add a mine pack or two.

    Esco Rio Grande here, £69.99 RRP

    Front page 12 Barrage Pack for £19.99 looks to be a no brainer, it's a rebadged Brightstar Air Strike :

    Click Air Strike Barrage Pack from the link above and there's a video of the contents being fired.

    last one, what rockets pack or packs would you say are the best?

    Best value for money rockets from JTF I would say are the Sky Sniper 6 pack @ £19.99 or the Ramrod 5 pack at £16.99. Both are proper 1.3g pyromeshed flash head rockets with the Ramrod having the bigger payload at 76g, but one rocket less in the pack.

    Somebody brought along a cage of Sky Snipers to one of the BFN partys last year and they certainly held their own as I recall.

    Any of the other rockets will be the quieter 1.4g garden variety, OK for a bit of fun but don't expect any huge bursts. You will get a greater quantity per pack for the same £££ though and they are less anti social in the noise pollution stakes ;)
  • 2vKxnEGp this is one of the medium sized air strike rcokets
  • Go to the YouTube channel beyboy1097 it is my sons YouTube channel and there is a vidoe of one of the medium sized air strike rockets the long requested vidoe has been posted:T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • I think that the JTF Sky Sniper rockets might in fact be the Bright Star Surgical Strike rocket pack:
