Gary Edmunds, the best flyer I've ever know never took his birds- any bird - more than 20 miles. Race season they never went any where. Bill Briggs was a great fler also, and a Lorry driver. His went anywhere and everywhere most days, and he done his share of winning... But was ALWAYS way behind Edmunds, like most others, in the fed. Said 'Roland, I come over and see you after the Perth race'. He is about 15 miles from me. Well I sitting and waiting for my Perth birds when in he walks... I said 'I thought you said AFTER the perth race'! He laughed and said 'I am, that finished over an hour ago' lol. What a flyer, what a country man and what an affinity with the birds.
