This pigeon was on display at the very first show I attended - The Edinburgh International Charity Show next to Waverley Station in 1968. If my memory is correct he was quite a big pigeon.
A big thanks to Dave Liddle [ DJL ] for collecting one of my youngsters and delivering it to me. Yes, "he goes above and beyond his duties". Thank you.
