[Guest woody_2k10]

i believe Colin Vidgeon holds the world record he's just started back in the sport this year and races in my club The Laindon RPC i'm told info can be found in the Squills

been on google found this would this be the same family?

 

 

The fastest recorded speed of a racing pigeon is 110 mph.

In 1965 a pigeon belonging to A Vidgeon & Son of Wickford flying in a race from Croydon covered the 40 odd miles at a velocity of 3229 yards per minute.

 

Freak velocity actually and must of had a gale force wind up it's backside to make such a speed. There are however lots of records showing racing pigeons achieving speeds in excess of 70mph, but any speed recorded much over 48 mph is wind assisted.

i belive there was a result in the lanarkshire fed of 2200 not a record but in our fed it was

[OLDYELLOW]

the problem with highest velocitys alot would be kicked out as a improbable speed , usualy an escapee , so hard to get a true answer to this
