Kipp & Sohnes from Allthornbach in Germany. National and International winners at the distance races. Birds are Jan Aarden based, originating from Piet and Henk De Weerd of Interpalomas lofts, and another ace German distance fancier called W. Bolting. The Kipp family's pigeons are known as the Nicht Vliegers, (Night Flyers, although i am not sure of my German spelling lol!)

You can check their website if you go on to    www.pipa.be   then go through the Germany link, and you will find Kipps website.

 

As good a distance family as anything on the planet.

Hi Trapper,The Carreras were I believe the name given to them when they 1st arrived in UK, to stop anyone else from going over and buying them, they are from Maurice Caseart and sons, Belgium. Won something like 5 nats now,a fantastic pigeon man, who with modest means took on the whole of Belgium in the nats with one or two birds a race and blasted them out of the sky!!!His eldest son was loftman at Silvere Toye's and Claude Hetru's for a while but flies on his own now.Think Mr. Mitchell added some Vandenabeels to them also. Again try pipa website as for the Kipps.
