Rooster J. Cogburn Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 tom paton galston 1912 rennes [shot wattle] 8yr old Aye I'm struggling to think of one older than that flew over 500 miles. Got a feeling "No Surrender" may have been 10yr old when it won Rennes but I wouldnae put money on it. Probably getting mixed up

Got a feeling "No Surrender" may have been 10yr old when it won Rennes but I wouldnae put money on it. Probably getting mixed up Cannae find the Age of No Surrender when he won Rennes .It scored four times in the SNFC from 500 miles though 3rd and 8th open Granville,1st and 12th open Rennes.It also topped the NW fed from Bournemouth-the "Auld Reekie" of his day??

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 waite till alex genius comes on he will tell what do was the oldest yin and prob it sire and dame to ,, you can bye him a guinness Very true It won it in 1910 for Willie McLean dkj Know Jock Allan had a pigeon of the same name as well,albeit a few decades later
dkj Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Very true It won it in 1910 for Willie McLean dkj Know Jock Allan had a pigeon of the same name as well,albeit a few decades later thought it was jock allan bird
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I've a clubmate who'll be able to tell me the age it was when it won Rennes,think am getting mixed up though with 10. Only really know about it as there was a picture of it in the Avonbrig pub for years.Willie McLean raced to Standburn originally but moved to Dennyloandhead,this is where he flew when he won the Rennes race.

alec guinness Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 thought it was jock allan bird "NO SURRENDER" 63rd 38th 13th 55th and 100th open for his gold award,6000 to 7000 doos in the 1970s,what a doo and fancier. NB "TOWNFOOT GOOD BOY 2" was 1st section 4th open snfc rennes at 10 years old!!!!!!!!!! would have said "cockpen heatwave" at 9 yrs old "shot wattle" was 8 yrs old when winning rennes,remember Sam Sammons of Aberdeen winning the north section with a 12 year old but who knows with fanciers happy at times of the year to use old rings!!!! :)
