  so sorry to hear of matts death

  remember back in the seventies getting a mealy squeeker stray of matts

  come into my loft 5 miles south of belfast. i reported it and matt said could keep it it was a lovely bird . every day when let out for exercise it would disapear and return late at night well flown i believed it was trying to return home. then it disappeared the next day matt phoned me and said the mealy

had returned i transfered it back to him matt informed me later that the mealy had won 3 races and went on to fly from france on a number of times

if his birds are still of that quality they should do very well in the sale

my condolences to the family circle

Went up to Matt’s sale yesterday, the birds made over £6800 at an average price of £215 each.

Matt was a true gentleman of the sport and the room was packed, the birds looked well.
