Think he had a lot of top doos down through the Billy Napper stuff Wull.Heard a lot of his early successes were with birds down through the T.C Ogilvie birds,in particular the breeding machine "4911" no sure if these birds were mixed in with the Napper doos or what??

NAPPER & LANE HAVE EXCHANGED BIRDS WITH RUTTER BROS FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO THEIR MUTUAL SATISFACTION RESULTING IN WINNERS FOR BOTH LOFTS..

[Guest Tooshy Boy]

I FOUND THESE TWO FANCIERS VERY INTERESTING AND FORTHRIGHT AND ASKED THEM ABOUT OTHER FANCIERS WHO HAVE HAD SUCCESS WITH THEIR BIRDS AND THEY PRESENTED ME WITH A HUGE LIST, BUT I WILL MENTION A FEW HERE. JOW BELL OF NEWBIGGIN, ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR HIS SUCCESSES IN CHANNEL EVENTS, WON 10TH COMBINE FROM BOURGES WITH A COCK GIVEN TO HIM BY NAPPER AND LANE. SWINBOURNE AND CURRY'S OPEN GUERNSEY WINNDER WAS ALSO FROM THIS LOFT. E. COULSON'S 3RD COMBINE LILLERS RETURNED AT 8:50PM RECORDING VELOCITY OF 670 WHICH WAS ANOTHER WELL EARNED POSITION BEATEN BY 'THE COMBINE COCK' WHICH TOOK NO 1 SPOT. J. NUTT, EASINGTON LANE'S 26TH U.N.C BEAUVAIS BIRD STEMS FROM THIS LOFT AND T. HASSALL OF STAFFS. HAS WON MANY FIRSTS AND MINOR PLACINGS ALL WITH BRIDS FROM NAPPER AND LANE. BOTH THESE FANCIERS BELIEVE THAT MORE PRAISE AND ENCOURAGEMENT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO NOVICES WHEN THEY PERFORM WELL. THEIR BIRDS HAVE PUT UP REALLY FIRST-CLASS PERFORMANCES AND JUDGING BY THEIR FORM IN RECENT YEARS, I THINK WE WILL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THEM IN YEARS TO COME. ///
