I remember Andrew Deans had a few from wilson & mcshane,he done very well with them in uddingston club in the seventies.I think Mary Anne of jock Allans which won the Section in Rennes was of that blood.Mary Anne was raced by Dick Allan by the way and i remember jock telling me that Mill Queen and Mary Anne dropped together from Rennes and they went for Mary Anne first because she was heavy pooled,anyway the two doos were first and second west section from Rennes.

Aye they seem to have been pretty handy doos across here.

 

Heard that Jock Reid had a pair brought over for him by "Old Hand".

 

This pair were responsible for "Daphnes Delight" and the pigeon that was 3rd open SNFC from the same race for Jock Reid

I thought Daphnes Delight was of Delbar Breeding but i could be wrong.

Fred Mc cluskey of Silksworth in sunderland had some cracking vandenbrouckes in the Early Eighties i am sure he won the unc with one of them.

You could be right about Daphne's Delight Lanarkshire Lad.I think S.W.E Bishop had a lot of Delbars.I dare say Jock Reid would've had some of them as well

[Guest stb-]

daphnes delight was a delbar from a jock reid import small little hen i was told

 

I served my time as a bricklayer under reddy nash OR james as some called him so got all the details on
