eddie wright sells kellens/matthews at his sale in dundee 27/11/09 i think some of the lads up north will know better

I have one left, In the year 2000 i raced with a local champ that had the best from G&K Hitchen, and we cleaned up, When i got my own loft i tried to get the strain back but with little success,  out of 18 i bought in only the one was worth keeping,  not many left in the area now,  no one could replicate his winning with them,   :-/

alrite mate who did you fly with Graham Helen? im keiths son from gk&c the kellons were a fantastic breed but the old lines are very hard to get hold of now

[mark croker]

Yea mate,  It was sad when he sold up,  he couldn't sell up as he was not putting the work in with them and the last few years had not done much,,    I put the work in, cleaned up, and at the end of the season he sold up,  some of the best birds i have flew
