Absolutely top class pigeon ,but you have to look at the fancier not once not twice but 3 times the guy has got this bird to peak at the right time for three seasons on trot , outstanding fancier and pigeon .well done David .

Brilliant performance , but who does fly into hawk infested areas nowadays ? I've at least 6 nest sites that I know of within striking distance of my loft .

I had this out with the snfc two years ago ,was told that yes they are in section F , Fkn disgrace in my book , I stated their rules regarding sections , I E. The west section(region ) consists of section E and section F. Birds must fly over 500 miles from Rennes to be in this section ????? But they over ruled this , must be the biggest length wise in the world , from Stranraer to Oban must be over 100 miles long .

Must have been at different AGM from you then ,I must pay more attention .lol

Think yer wrong ! It was a case of would you come on .?.naw what about you ? Do u think such and such would stay on ??? Years ago your name got put up and you got a proposer and a seconder ,now it's not the same , yes one or two get proposed etc but some are co,opted on correct ?

That's why I pointed out earlier if it was up to me they wouldn't have went earlier I would have waited till around 10 am to make sure it cleared for the North guys, well done controllers spot on IMHO .

Not getting involved with the snfc/Lanarkshire debate ,but you pointed out about committee being elected ? Not for a few years ,it's who will come on committee ,it used to be an HONOUR to be asked to serve ,not now ,expletive remove you don't even need to be at AGM , in saying that the criticism that's flying about you would need yer head looked to even consider going on it .

Walter with the south west forecast for today I think you boys will/could be in before us through here ,I was not having a go at anyone ,just pointing out although the weather was clearing North East ,with a strong s,west wind they could catch up before it clears , anyway good luck to everyone today from all races . And yes we've had problems before at Eastbourne , I think Maidstone was a better choice and more on the line of flight with Ypres , no having a dig JMHO .

To be honest I didn't think they would go up early as the bad weather is moving north so ,if it was me I would have waited till around 10 so the birds wouldn't catch up way the crap weather . Bucketing here at moment and strong east wind .

Fantastic performance from ken well done .

Thank fook.

Wit the fec is happening , I've worked like fk for the last few weeks to get my birds right for Ypres ,spent a lot of money training etc very early mornings ,birds out with youngsters etc , and what no fkn race . All for fkn nothing . Just about had enough of this sport to be honest .

Yes she is a cracker John , Davie must be so proud to own such a pigeon .

I would go further and say must be one of the best or the best pigeon in Britain at the moment , twice a year at 500 plus miles winning a prize every time ,wow what a pigeon .

Agree 100% cracking pigeon well done jock ( joe was over the other day and told me he phoned you ,said it was good to catch up) .

Empty yer box John

GB 15 A. 37480. Been here since yesterday ,but just came in with old birds .

Blue sky,s here for about 40 mins or so ,and clearing East , hope it clears enough to let birds get home .

John bosworths bird is in front of Liam's bird as well as the ratho bird , there's no much overfly off they boys from alencon . Bosworths 533 Liam prob about 542 , But would like to congratulate Liam and Veronica for a cracking performance from there pigeon . Should be in top 10 I think .unless there's more who don't phone lib line . Which I may add should be made compulsory . Same as the big nationals down south do .

Bird in down there before 7pm

Ye I know the rules ian but ,there's no difference from letting out a team of say 100 youngsters ,to training the same amount ,they could both run into the path of an aircraft . Luckily I don't keep big numbers . I've watched mine crossing the airfield at Glasgow ,if there's a plane taking off or landing the body swerve it .

So ian what difference does it make if robert lets his birds out and me letting mines go at his place , I would be breaking the law he wouldn't ????

No wind up mate ,winner in eastern Fife Dundee or further up the coast

Good s,west wind here ,think the winner will be up the east coast .

That would mean you weren't allowed to lib your birds in your garden robert as you aren't 8 miles from Glasgow airport .
