Doddie Ross of Aberdeen's 'Little Doddie' won a gold award for scoring 5 times from Rennes. I also think Jimmy Hamilton's 'Iron Lady' may have done the same but not 100% sure on that one.

One of the best ever Rennes pigeons in my section has to be "Freckles" 12th,7th and 18th Open before she was killed by a hawk in Robert Cormack's back garden
