I have been fortunate throughout the years to have owned some very special pigeons

I think the following Blue hen deserves a wee mention

gold cup Rennes 1978 North west wind 16th Section 66th open flying 14hours 40min 7298 Birds

gold cup Rennes 1979 North west wind 8th Section 31st Open Flying 16 hours 27 minutes. 7268 birds

Gold Cup Rennes 1980 North west wind 68th section 334th open Flying 15hours 20minutes. 7359 birds

A wonderful pigeon who had multiple club prizes and never a night out in its racing life
