Guest LBuddle Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 A freind of ours Mike Mitchell from Dover has brought in a fair number of these pigeons direct from the man himself, I went to Belgium with Mike a must say that i found theese pigeons to be the best family of pigeons i have ever seen and handled they were really something. Has any body else ever had pigeons from Herman Van Helmond? he won 3 Nationals in Holland when he lived there then he moved to Belgium and won 4 more Nationals Van Helmond prior to 1968 won 1st National Orleans, 1st National Ruffec and 1st National Chateauroux against the best of the Netherlands.. Then upon moving to the village of Vorselaar in Belgium although not living in an area conducive to long distance fanciers in due course Van Helmond won 1st National St.Vincent (hens), another 1st National St.Vincent (hens), then 1st National Pau including 1st National Pau (hens), Then in 2007 he won 1st INTERNATIONAL Bordeaux 7708 yearlings this was also the fastest pigeon from 14291 pigeons overall!!
