i have kirkpatricks had them since 1992/93 i bought mine from Louella and spent alot of money obtaining these and whittled them down into a good performing family i bred several good birds which won me the combined adverage the first year i flew widowhood and highest prize winner in my club the second year they won the channel adverages in my club also highest prize winner i mised out of the combined adverages as didnt sent to last yb race , then i had personal problems and gave my birds to two friends one who was on private land and my best friend who i have known for many years called Kirky on here , after 2 weeks my mate who had my birds on private land asked me to look after his birds ( most were mine ) to cut the story short i ended up with my birds back on the private land , kirky took most of the key kirkpatricks and eventualy i ended with them back , two lines that i favour are the Dusty line 1st club 1st section 6th Fed Clermont 360 miles and other cards , and 'Old Yellow' he was raced every week took card from 3 out of 4 channel races and 4th Wansted flats he was 2nd Bourge 512 miles as a yearling and as a 2 year old he was the only bird on the day in club . These birds have won on the south road for me and on the north road for kirky , kirky had gave his good friend Norman Watson of Bridlington some kirkpatricks loan of birds some gifted and in turn young birds from these ended up in Scotland at the lofts of John Dumigan and Alec Sharpe who fly in the Ayrshire North road , Alec sharpe on his first race was 3rd 4th 6th fed , this guy only had 3 thimbles and he continued this patern till his club ran out of birds . My Kirkpatricks and other birds are on my photobucket Kirky may want to add his performances to this thread perhaps the breeder buyers of Shaun Morris and the clermont hen he bred for shaun
