Listen to the item

Jon Culverhouse's love of fireworks stems back to his childhood Guy Fawkes nights. Also as a child growing up in the 60's he became fascinated with the Space Race when Russia sent up the first dog. 

Jon decided to litterally join the race himself. He attempted firstly to send three beetles and a worm and then a friend's pet mouse, up in a firework rocket.
