[alvagate]

come on lads these arnt the scottish lads who wont take on the english in the N F C SAINTES  ;D

Hey mr j hannah is better than far better than most of them you mention.

 

 

7x1st SNFC Section wins all from channel! West Section record i'm sure?

 

There are exceptional fanciers in every SNFC Section, nobody trying to split them up and before somebody jumps back on the high horse these threads are surely for self opinions and at the end of the day thats all they are... nobody is actually stating 'tom' is better than 'harry'!

 

My opinion for whats its worth would have to be Jim Donaldson, purely for loft location... extreme distance... consistency... and the hard racing that has been encountered in recent years, yet this man rattles them in good style, a past SNFC winner and SNFC Gold award winner... whats left for him to win?

Was just lookin at Gareth and his fathers results this year.. pretty awesome, considering how tough it is flying in to the west..

 

Newbury 319mls - 190th, 400th open. 11 sent

 

Eastbourne 387mls - 192nd, 299th, 380th open. 9 sent

 

Alencon 533mls - 68th, 90th open. 6 sent

Point of interest the two birds they timed from Alencon were 07L1900 AND 07L1899.. nest mates maybe..??

Far too many names to pick 1 out as the best in Scotland so i'll not bother

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

JonesyBhoy 07L1900 AND 07L1899 are nest mates.

[Guest frank dooman]

They are all great fanciers in there own rights but i think its unfair to pick 1 from any mentioned and some who may not have been mentioned yet the only thing we mere mortals can do is to try and do half of what they have, then all the hard work will have been worth it

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

JonesyBhoy 07L1900 AND 07L1899 are nest mates.

 

Thats class mate.. timing nestmates from the Gold Cup..!! Awesome..!!

It is all down to personal preference in all the "Who is the Best" there is no right or wrong answer  as there are so many variables to be taken into consideration and to say the least they are all loaded questions. The answer to the question is already answered in their heads before  asked.

Fairplay.. what about the self proclaimed 'King Of The Rantan' Sir Wullie McLean..?? Hes got to be up there with the best..!!

[Fair Play]

Better no tell him that it's enough at the moment tell him that there would be no living with him

but to be honest he has flown a good doo and had some decent results considering where he is located

Hey mr j hannah is better than far better than most of them you mention.

 

 

Totally agree with you. Jim Hannah is undoubtedly the best Gold cup specialist in the West Region in recent years and has a far better record than most folk in Scotland.
