88'.. great year.. the tic' won the double..!!!

 

A 10 year old..!! Geez.. dont get many of them these days..

 

Did you prefer Nantes or Niort mate..??

 

 

[VMS]

Fantastic and without doubt creditable performances by all that has been mentioned so far on this thread.but I Would have to say with drastically reduced Numbers That Hotrods Karens Girls has undoubtedly  been the Scottish bird of the decade.What a win You can argue about birdage all day long but such a small convoy from 500 mile plus is the bench mark.Well Done Stuart

Also i have seen that Robert Wilson has been credited with honours.But what has not been mentioned is the fact that he has won another National this year with Davy Jack Another top fancier.With Scotland's Premier Distance club.

I think you all  have been very disrespectful to your other west section SNRPC National winners, namely Danny Mitchell, Wanstead Flats and Wilson & Jack, Messac. Three west section National winners in two years, every one deserving equal plaudits. Karens Girl put up a great performance undoubtedly but so did these other two birds. I also think to name a bird of the decade with one performance is a bit ridiculous. Recently,what about Jocky Kings blue hen , the Dewar trophy winner and his ch hen Mary, a multiple channel prize winner.There are countless other brilliant pigeons, again ,  you have disrespected these wonderful birds with your statement.

You think what you like Del,i happen to be very friendly with Wilson&Jack and their bird peanuts put up a wonderful performance.But in my opinion when you take into account Hotrods location for me its one of the finest performances by a pigeon in recent history.No offence intended to any of these great pigeons and fanciers alike.Its just my opinion which i believe that i am entitled to have.

Nobody questioned how fantastic a result this was but there are plenty of birds have put up unbelievable performances in recent years and I wouldnt say that one was better than the other. Everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose
