@@alexwiddowson3756 thats tricky i dont know what date was firecracker shown last before the change in 1997 before optics on 3rd early hours of 4th october 1997
@@wesleycracknell1623 I think the last time that Firecracker was used after the clock at closedown was the early hours of 29th June 1997... I think Reg Sanders used that particular ident on a couple of dates between late-1994 & early-1995 (before the NTA opened) at closedown, and since then Michaela Saunders, Lucy Bolger, Alex Mason, Reg Sanders (until 1996), and (I THINK) Halyna Kozak (from 1996 onwards) were fond of using that particular ident at closedown.
