[Movies] Malta fireworks factories visits

[Controcolpo]

Hi everybody,

I wanted to show you some video's a friend of me made during his stay on Malta in 2004.

He visted 3 factories, showing the bunkers with all the shells ready for the feasts as well as the preparation of the Catherine wheels (irdieden), and some work being done in the factory.

-Saint Michaels fireworks factory Lija, first video.
-Saint Mary fireworks factory Mqabba, 2nd video.
-Saint Mary fireworks factory Qrendi, 2nd video starting from min. 7:25

Enjoy!

Those are some great videos from Malta. It is amazing the amount of work they put in to these shells. If someone new into fireworks needs to know what the term “Spiking” a shell means there is a great example of it in the second video starting at the 5:50 mark.
