Its ok saying youve got the right judges Dougie, ive witnessed supposed top fliers before put up blatant dipped pigeons.As for flown certificates, well these are easily obtained by anyone.The only way to do it is, racing pigeons only that have appeared on a result, whether its the last place on a club result from 50 miles or a national result, it isnt relevant, just the proof that its definately been raced.
