Novice Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 When fanciers send their best birds to a race like this they really deserve better care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Not sure Chris if i had known anyone wanted to know could found out from the local fisherman cant get much better than weather forecast from them I seen pictures down here of when our lifeboat was out coming back with racebirds that landed on it :-/ Living on the coast you learn how quickly the weather changes can be sunshine one minute and next its pouring with rain and blowing a gale The North sea gas / Oil piping and what not was being done, it was imperative to have acruate forecasts. There was many heavy and fixings at a lot of money. 'Clear Time' to enable time for the operation was a must. This was done by the R.A.F. This turned out to be very good within in a couple of minutes. This litually said 1 28 so and so till 2 45 then 2 46 to 2 57 it will be. To say it was acruate is an understatement. they was approach in regards Line Flights and liberations in the early 70's. Fine and great time they charge a little... What and it's free on the BBC! So they shot themselves in the foot again there. The R.A.F now price themselves out I believe, ... because we ain't worth the hassle.
