My white Kirkpatrick x Spangle cock flew Palamos 751mile this year so they are still good for the distance.
they are the birds that my father used to fly years ago and he used to do well with them.i know they are a very old breed of pigeon,but i cant seem to find out much about them.
I have kirkpatricks from oldyellow origional stock from the early nineties, and yes thay still win today i have just had a cracking yb season but none for sale at this time, i have just been to john crowders loft today to pick up a pair of black pied kenyons that are in this weeks bhw, he has 60 kirkpatricks for sale and thay are a credit to him, like me he has all the old blood lines.

Forum member Jimmy White's 'Sir Colin' was a Kirkpatrick, scored in SNFC Rennes and Nantes races, before breaking his wing and being retired to stock.
I have not heard of any recent single bird performances on a par with Sir Colin, or Stan the Man (above) both of which were late 90's, attributed to Kirkpatrick breeding.
I tried to start a Kirkpatrick family via LPW 2001; nothing, not a feather from them. I now have a couple down from Sir Colin (well down the tree now crossed into my own ) and another, Bossman, that I have a feeling will do some damage. .
I have yellow kirkpatricks originally bred by louella and yellow jannsens. The feathering always looks so great on the yellows. Mealys and reds put with yellows often throw yellows but it is better to have a yellow cock as they carry 2 chromosomes and the hens only 1.
