Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 was the holy island loft the lighthouse keeper david ? can remember he was an outstanding loft at the time !! but cant remember the name I thougt it was Robin Henderson, but the one i've found so far was J & W Douglas of Holy Island in 1962 from Cormeilles!
Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Real un's Steve, arguably the best Bourges pigeons ever.

SNFC Gold Award winner. A truly outstanding distance performer. Blue Tooner, that must be one of the best distance birds in Europe, if not the best. Absolutely outstanding performances.
Blue Chequer Pied Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Blue Tooner, that must be one of the best distance birds in Europe, if not the best. Absolutely outstanding performances. I would have to agree Dave. Jim has a loft full of quality pigeons and he is always there at the distance. He has taken the standard to new heights he has well and truly raised the bar. A top class fancier with amazing performances. My personal favourite of Jim's was Niort Lady a mealy hen 2nd N.Section 15th Open Sartilly 605 miles, !st N.Section 40th Open Niort 775 miles a truly outstanding hen. Paul.
dkj Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 mighty blue boy bred in 1956 record is 3rd.9th. 23rd. 27th. 39th. 63rd unc bourges 586ml. also 7th. 53rd 56th unc lille. 370ml. think he holds the record as the most consistent bourges pigeon in the unc
Delboy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Ooooohhh, thats a pearler of a question Delboy! To be honest, i couldn't say. There's been some great ones. Two of my favourites are Wearside Lass and Margarets Pride, multi performers before winning the big one. I'm sure there was a UNC winner up on Holy Island but will have to go through me books to get the racepoint! Helluva question though Del, that probably was worth a thread of its own! I'll get back to you. Think your right Dave about the Holy Island winner .Surely that must have been a tail wind? Fantastic performance anyway. Donaldsons win last year was outstanding as well. I have the aunty of that bird in my stock loft
dkj Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 the £1000 hen also at bourges was 4th.9th.9th.16th.71st.150th. 559ml also was 7th.unc lille, 340ml
Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Think your right Dave about the Holy Island winner .Surely that must have been a tail wind? Donaldsons win last year was outstanding as well. I have the aunty of that bird in my stock loft Aye, Bob is an axcellent pigeon man. He's always knocking about the UNC results. Think you are right regarding the the tail wind, at just over 1500ypm it must of been! lol! Still, racing against the UNC way up in Holy Island took some doing! ........AND DKJ, you know your pigeons! Blue Boy is a legend in the north east! His record speaks for itself! Cracking thread this, well done T_T!
T_T Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 Dicky Darky, Nice to know about other great pigeons, there was also a hen called "Grizzelda" there at that time amongst others that I can't remember the name of ( getting old ) but they all made you glow inside with a feeling that's difficult to explain and a pleasure to be involved in this wonderful sport. Looking through this thread the Ron Williamson pigeon "Ron-Ville Millenium Superstar" with regards to performance must be the best ever to have lived I would of thought. Most certainly the best I know about now. I don't know how others would perceive the " best performance " . but all in all, terrific pigeons.

Guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Arie Van Beeks "Der Bomber," one of my favourite all time pigeons. De Klak. The photographer Falco Ebben was the guy who took me to Arie's. One of the best birds i've ever handled, an absolute dream!
