Pompey Mick Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Beautiful day here in Portsmouth, a bit of a blustery SW wind but perfect visibility. Went to the Portsmouth lib site this morning where 13 transporters were parked. Watched several thousand NW birds being liberated at 8.00 in very good conditions. Here's a few photos, will put more on later.
jimmy white Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 looks a great liberation,, brilliant pics,,,, :) ,,,,,just wish the weather was like that here :)

Guest Vic Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Credit where due! Looks like the north west combine. Some hit rain/hailstones others didn't. winning velocity in my club 1571. I reckon over 1600 to win the combine.
Pompey Mick Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Posted May 20, 2007 Here's some more transporter photos
Guest Vic Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 Nice to see more whicker than metal containers. Whicker in my mind, is tops.
Roland Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 G8 mate... and our birds were doing over the 1900's. 1920 the actually winner. likewise the next 13... Mine was just under.
tubbles Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 I'm in the North Wirral Federation and we race in the North West Combine. Our club winner is doing 1564ypm. Jones & Thomas look to have topped our Federation and they have slaughtered that winner in our club, they get about 3 miles overfly and are in the clock 2 mins in front of it so it should be a good un in the combine. Thanks for the pics mate they look great. You didn't see a pied cock did ya lol
Pompey Mick Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Posted May 23, 2007 Hopefully here are all the photos I took on Southsea common of all the transporters there. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mickjhnsn/album?.dir=/76bbscd&.src=ph&.tok=phLZ1yGB4zczwjS4 You can download them for a better look
