Mossgiel Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just watching some Keith Mott on YouTube What ever became of the Gunn & Cherrie partnership ? I think the loft was on land at Roslin Research Institute, where Tam Cherrie worked. Not sure if he changed jobs and had no place to move the lofts to ?? Tam left the sport. Dave Gunn continued on his own, at a different location for a few more years before he too packed up. They had some excellent performances in the late 80's, early 90's from channel races - Mountmarle Prince & Red Ruby did some winning.

drumbo Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 If am right, mountmarle Prince Ivor won Nat in 89, They sent him back the next year and a think he took another position, then am not sure what happened but Tam had to put him down, said it was one of thehardest decisions he made. Another pigeon for themthat had a fantastic performance was a check cock Houdini, think he was 5th or 6th National, Davy retainedhim from their sale, if am right a rat got into the loftat the new location and Houdini was the only birdthat it got and a think their was about 30 birds in that end.
