    Another great read courtesy of Mossgiel featuring one of the pigeon racing world's greatest and most iconic birds of all time. George Ritchie & Bob Whyte - two of pigeon racing's 'Gods'

    I've had another rummage and think John Hodgson may have won the South Section 13 times

    Aye it's very impressive stuff I'm missing a few pieces of the jigsaw, but think Davie Rose is in the region of 11-13 North Section wins and that John Hodgson will be around the 9-11 mark in the South any further info would be much appreciated

    I've been thinking about the old sections in the SNFC - North,South,East and West. Which fanciers have the most section wins within the club? I make it 1. Jim Donaldson 2. Davie Rose 3. John Hodgson Is this correct? A further question - why were the terms 'Section' and 'Region' swapped ?

    Thank you all for your kind words. John Ellis has been a 'hero' of mines as long as I've been into pigeons, so I'm pleased the write up on him has been well received

    Looks like I'm the only one that f * cks it o'er the field

    Just had a wee look on the inflation calculator and the bird that was 10th Open won the equivalent of £11,622 in today's money

    The 10th Open winner could have been with the 7th Open?

    It was a pleasure and I'm glad it was of some interest

    6201 birds were liberated at 0550. The winner was clocked in Drem at 1955 on a velocity of 1139ypm - Hodgson's 'Camptown Lassie'

    Sorry Andy I should have said the birds were liberated at 7am in a south wind.The winning pigeon was timed a 1603 on a velocity of 1559ypm East section winner 1324 ypm West Section winner 1318 ypm You're right though-it would have been a hell of a wind for them to do 481 mile in 4 hours and 3 minutes

    Rod Adams for me is one of the very best writers I've come across in the pigeon books and magazines - a great fancier to boot. 'First one to Stanley Street Bridge' by Rod Adams

    Coronation Express was at that time the fastest ever SNFC Gold Cup winner - a record that would stand for 30 years

    At the time John McLaren was the youngest ever fancier to win the NFC Gold Cup and the only person in history to win the NFC Gold Cup, NFC Old Bird Average and NFC All Race Average in the same season. I don't know if these records still stand, but it took some doing back then
