It looks like a surreal reenactment of a German anti-aircraft battery firing 911s into the air over the Reichstag...

I saw the fireworks in the middle of the afternoon and thought they where mad to have them. Should've waited until it was dark or spent the money elsewhere.

You should have seen them on Sunday along with two massive union jacks covering the house after / during Lord March's speech too wink

Well, sometimes I'd agree, but the daytime fireworks always seem to work quite well at Goodwood...

What do they do with the sculptures once Goodwood is over ?. I guess they wouldn't keep the cars on any of them, but it would seem a waste to just melt them down for scrap. Does anyone know of any that have been relocated anywhere that can be seen today ?.

I wondered about that as well - was thinking in particular of the E-Type sculpture from a few years ago.

Seems almost criminal to scrap that one!!
