Keesters Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Was this a 'professionally' run display? If so they should have known that 10 meters is just not far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I only saw the video of this display for the first few seconds as have seen enough of them to want to see the whole clip. I am not sure now where I wrote anything about lack of respect or seriousness of the outcome?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
