The NEHU transfer is 3 postcards 1 for you 1 for the vendor and 1 for the NEHU.When you got the bird you should have been supplied with a transfer as it will have to be signed by them.

Steve who knocked Celtic out the cup last year .

Stb I had the birds of Wilson in 1983, i bought 3 late breds and he gifted me 2 eggs which both hatched,i was lucky that the pied cock turned out to be such a good breeder but as i said i crossed him with a Robert Nisbet hen as i also bought 6 late breds of robert at the same time.Sometime they click sometmes they dont.

Cheers Alan i here you are doing good at the shows.

Hear hear Frank we are talking about the cream of Scottish long distance birds which imo are equal to anything in the World.

Stb did i meet you at Doncaster with Alf and Karl Kelly as there were that many lads there i forget some of there names.

The Pied cock i had of Wilson Noble crossed with a Robert Nisbet hen bred the JPS and the Seven cock for Stirling Bros of Burnbank both scored prominent positions in the Snfc he also bred The Stirling cock for Jock Alston who i believe won a Gold Award although i may be wrong about that but he did score good positions for Jock as i know that he gave my brother in law a framed photograph of him.

Bhoys and Bears it only my opinion,Stb like everything else it depends on the bloodlines and how they adapt,in his day Wilson Noble was one of the best flyers in the SNFC imo. Jonesbhoy i accept your opinion but to say its a fact you would have to back that up with evidence.

Walter I am originally from Burnbank ,Hamilton before i left i bought birds of Wilson And Robert Nisbet then of Pencaitland.I always believed and still do that the best fliers in the SNFC lived in the North East my reckoning was if you lads could get them up there then i should be able to get them in to Lanarkshire.

Walter time flies i had the birds of Wilson in 1983 and i moved to England in 1985,if i remember correctly there was a lot of the Steptoe lines in them.

Thanks Walter thats a great compliment coming from a fancier with your record at the distance over the years.Is Wilson Noble still living as i had some great birds off him when i lived in Scotland one in particular off Sir Lancelot bred some great channel pigeons for my Brother in laws.

I gifted my mate 4 young birds Last year Connor My Boy 1st Club 1st Fed 2nd West Durham Amal Bourges 541 miles This Year Tyson 1st Club 1st Fed 1st West Durham Amal 5th open NEHU Bourges 541 miles.

John Feenie from Hamilton with Strathclyde Lass 1st West Section Rennes in a North East wind timed on the shift.If my memory seves me right she was the only bird in the West on the night.

Big Fergie bought Doran this year but he is cutting back as he lives in Spain and Albert Tatrleton is not getting any younger as he loks after his birds.

Mick if you google Phil Bates and Son there is a little article by Syndicate Lofts on their birds.

He was mated to Doran and she is also for sale in Duncan Fergusons sale.

I think that it was £1000 not sure as i dont keep the old papers but the interesting thing for me was the sire and dam of the National winner were £500 each.

Mick Duncan Ferguson the ex footballer is selling a son of Drum an 09 bird on PIPA at the moment,the bid is 850 Euro and the sale ends on Sunday .At the moment its going to China.

Phil Bates and son i forgot that you dont get the BHW they were selling a lot of the stock birds at a fixed price about 3 weeks ago including 1 off Drum .They live in Wales.
