telfer black jets

[ALF]

Can anybody remember who actually saved all our blushes and stopped the Telfers from topping the fed in all the y/b races that year :-/ :-/ ;) ;) ;)

 

I thought Homer might have known the answer to this wan :-/ :-/ :-/

Grew up looking at the pictures of the black Jets but was never allowed any but did read.

 

As correctly mentioned the pigeons where selected as youngsters and raced in Belgium as youngsters. Nauwelaerts being true to his word let them go to Scotland. The hen I believe if memory serves me correct won 3*1st prizes. I can’t say if Telfer went to him deliberately due to results or came via word of mouth. That said as mentioned there was also  some William Geerts blood in them (direct from the Buffel – At that time Geerts was the top loft for middle distance in Antwerp, and the Buffel was the best breeder). Until recently a fancier who was winning them was none other than Ron Green (Breakaway)

 

Ok the birds where not good , just darkness? Consider this Nauwelaerts (not to be confused with the Nauwelearts Mardon introduced) has perhaps the best record of any breeder of pigeons into the UK ever in relation to winners per bird sent over ? As well as the Black Jets another fancier got them. John Lovell went over himself and bought (Now once again I can’t say if he saw Telfers results or just happened upon them). They won well for him immediately but began a long distance man at heart he moved them to John Salt of Kimberly , Nottingham. John Salt raced these tremendously in the 80’s and 90’s his Tom line was full of winners. Ironically the Tom line of Sontjens probably replaced them but I would be sure he has plenty winning lines of these left.

Hi Alan

Mr Lovell raced the North Road and they developed into quite

large pigeons

One disappeared of the loft and landed at my near neighbour J F Reid

he was allowed to keep it and did bred him winners

Mine went down racing

Luck of the draw ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
