I believe he did his flying in Market Harbourough. Was one of he three greats. Logon. Frankie George amd of course Louie Masserella.

Frankie George of course was Wilby & Wellingborough and had three lofts of course. He use to import and send to China in the Mid Fifties. Bought 'Morning Cloud' for a then world record of £800.

Use to have a friend rivalry of course with Masserella, both on the pitch and in the buying world.

I thought he was Irish

 

Believe you are right. have his write up etc. tucked away somewhere on a disc. Will have to look it up again sometime. Naturally feel I know... then other posts make me think twice. But am about right I believe.

I always thought he was Irish could be wrong though  Think Logans were bits of everything Barker Gits foreign birds he bought in if i remember  what i read about him think he was a very rich man and bought in the best to produce what he wanted wasnt a problem in those days that you had to have pure anythings you seemed to produce your own strain  think he used to inbreed with his birds as well

yes rose , GITS, HANSEEN , SOFFEL WEGGE , BARKER , TOFT , dolly mixtuers , but a master at blending pigeons , what if that man was around to-day , with the feeding , trainning methods , loft's , he would be at the top of the game , just by being a top stockman , yes rose he had a few shillings about him , but i would worry more about what he had between his ears , regarding pigeons , if he was here in this day and age , just think a race from france in the 1890's , 3 or 4 days to the race point or may-be more , they were the pionniers of pigeon racing in the uk

Surely any quality strain are made from a blend of all sorts. The birds in my pen are pure mine. No body elses strain seems to hang around here in large numbers.

There are probably quite a few that have allsorts if the truth was known but having a pure strain seems to be much more impressive to some   We tried few over the years but very few seem to live upto the expectations of them

 

is there such a thing as a pure strain. all strains are blends of others. and even if you inbreed around a few champions for several generations eventually a cross will have to be introduced.
