Rooster, do you have any photographs / articles on Bainton & Son of Wimborne, Dorset. I had a Pictorial printed late 70's on this partnership. At that time my father and grandfather were alive and the pigeon papers would be passed round. Anyhow this Pictorial was lost. Bainton & Son had a fantastic record at distance racing - if my memory is correct they had 32 old birds in the loft, 28 of which had flown at least Pau. Incidently Dennis Dall brought in a Bainton cross with great effect.

I've lost track of whats here and what I've given to people

 

I gave about 30 odd 70s and 80s pictorials to a clubmate before Christmas.

 

I'll have a look for you anyway.

Very fond memories of Jack, used to give me some stick when I was a bairn. You could see lots like this in a very special loft in Carlisle

Tom Gilbertsons John but aye you could find similar at Martins no doubt

Real quality and bred for the job and unfortunately thin on the ground these days m8. :)

Deffo John, we have about 10 pairs of Toms as he and Grahamie are mates but we struggle as they are birds that require patience to get them to the water. Fantastic in the hand and if I had more time would do a tour of the shows lol.

Seriously tho Toms loft is fantastic and some of the old stagers he has down there beggar belief in body and condition at 12+ years.

Hope I dont have to wait too long before they thro me another but I cant complain really.

It was a very good race. Clocked 9.10 pm but race finished about 8.30 pm in the east. Not many birds won gold awards competing in 5 Rennes races :emoticon-0137-clapping::emoticon-0137-clapping: some going - even in the glory years. :scotland:

This pigeon 'Tryst Frill' the one that was 21st Open for Jock Reid in the Avranches result on the other thread

 

The other picture was taken at a NW Fed presentation.Jock Reid(front right), Hamilton Sloan(top left), Bert Hunter (top right). The fanciers in the doorway are Robert Jack and Ian James. No one I've shown it too can identify the guest presenting the trophy. Any ideas?
