G Kirkland has plenty of this blood, The Pest was 50% Fauconnier!!

 

Rob Langrish and Edmund Lunt had the best of these and they all ended up with John Joyner (Buster) Playboy, Blakes 7, Lunts Hen, Golden Pair etc were all great pigeons

Paul died 12 years ago, of Kidney failure, he was a multi-millionaire and bought hundreds of top class pigeons, then literally gave them away once he was tired of them. His loft encompassed almost every successful strain in Belgium and he sold hundreds of birds in the UK between 1971 and 1985.  Even National winners were sold for a mere £200 on more than one occasion, yet they cost him thousands. He bought birds that won all the way to Barcelona. Of his two sons only one kept birds, then he too gave them up. The lofts still stand, empty now for years, some of them never even housed a pigeon.
