In form  Dookit of Jock Lawrie & Son have pulled of the Hat Trick in Newmains Flying Club with 1041 birds they are 1st & 3rd ;- Velocity 1458.475 with a 3 yr old hen bred by Andy Miller. Pigeons were scarce at the start but most of the people i have spoken to have now 90% returns. ;)

 

Well Done lads. Did I send you the bill for that one?   ;D

so does the old guy you terrorised with the exploding e-mails know who done it as i do???

 

And i'm not the only 1 who knows the 2 people that were sending them and then 1 of youz had the cheek to ask him for y/b's and got them a couple of weeks ago : : : :

[HOMER49]

 

did you back him at the meeting Homer???

 

Hi Alan

If you mean Jim Hannah YES to the hilt

His sole objective each week was to have maximum returns

and the welfare of the birds

And that Alan is good enough for me

Cheers

Homer 49

Was also told that he was asked to reconsider

to tell you the truth i thought he was hung out to dry by our fed president as he is the 1 that makes the big decisions and should have made sure the birds were at the race point and then jim could have done his job

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

guys  this  is  not  a  campaign  to  bring  back  jim  hannah  but  i  dont  see  any  posts  budgie  giving  his  side  of  things  so  once  again  we  are  left  with  no  explanation

 

Don,t think he has to explain himself at all George and especially not on a website, as far as i'm concerened it was a good race as many have already said, i believe myself the erratic race came from percy to start of with then at the home end the pigeons were shut out at Moffat. , which would explain why more than 90% of the pigeons came from the North fighting back against a head wind into Lanarkshire.

 

Four still to come from me out of 68 and i think i could have picked 3 of the 4 that would have stuggled with the other one being a latebred.

It was an erratic race to start with but the positives are that the pigeons have had many hours on the wing which they have not had in the last 12 fed races which generally have been no more than 1 1/2 to 3 hours and returns have finished very good to fair.

 

 

Know the maps pretty well George, so i will post for those that dont. ;)

 

With the pigeons liberated at 07.00 in a 7 MPH south south west wind the pigeons would have kept a reasonably straight line of flight as the vels showed the winners flying 50 MPH ++.

 

 

[kelly tom]

Gareth my friend there is no way on Gods Earth that the pigeons would take the line  that you are showing they would not fly over the Pennines .I have been travelling up to Scotland from Yorkshire for the last 25 years and i have never seen a pigeon on my travels over the A66.

[Guest bigda]

i would agree there mate the lost birds are in the Dundee area and as  far as Aberdeen the birds gathered momentum  at some stage of the race,  as the   peterhead birds and around where doing 1600 ypm, and  some of the  early or late, hard to say but must asume the  early birds went on by and

  they  wouldn't face turning into the wind

[kelly tom]

Bigda the Lanakshire pigeons would come straight up from Leeds through the Vale of York to the East of us is the Hambleton Hills and the North York Moors to the West of leeds is the Pennines.Ask the members of our club myself included how many Scottish strays we get in during racing i have fed and watered dozens in a season and gave them a helping hand back up the road.

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

Tom it is a treacherous area for the pigeons and i do believe that pigeons will be pushed by the wind, but with little or next to no wind surely the pigeons would have kept a enough straight line through Appleby and Carlisle and added to the fact that with the wind being south the pigeons should have gained good hight above the lower part of the Pennines which is at the start, remember the pigeons were doing it a fast speed ( well some) so surely the pigeons cant come up to the breaking point east of the Pennines and then break for home.

 

If pigeons dont fly from A to B when there is no wind then what route would the pigeons have taken if it is was an East Wind.

 

cheers

Gareth

[kelly tom]

Gareth I live 40 minutes North of Leeds Davy Hannah phoned me on Saturday morning to see what the weather was like here it was a lovely morning with a light south wind imo your birds came up though the Vale of York and headed up through the Durham area.

[Guest bigda]
