Thanks Wiley, i still can't sort the photo scene out. I sent you the photos   via e mail to check out size, in case that was the problem. So seeing they have appeared on basics, I,ll add a few words to them. The first one, is a young Vic  

collecting the L,pool Amal Niort trophy from the great Les Kilshaw of Halewood,

arguably the greatest ever Liverpool fancier. Notice a youngish Bob Moffatt sitting

on the left.   The second one was taken by my pond on a warm summers day, showing a pair of nestmates from the stock loft.                                            

                                                                    I am still trying to sort the photo

problem out, Cheers, Vic. ;) ;D

GANGSTER! You certainly do know quite a bit. No, I have none of the white Cock which is a pity. Certainly was a good bird, but was unfortunate to be bred   in the   same year as 5715, which was raced by the late Jack Bradshaw in my club. What a pigeon that was! I think my whiten had 6 or 7 second club cards to it, but did manage to beat 5715 on a few occasions. I can't remember how many times 5715 topped the Amal, but he was always up in the first half dozen when raced. 5715

was later sold to a good pigeon man, A

was later sold to a good pigeon man, Alfie Morris, who in turn sold it to Frank George of Wellingborough. Frank renamed 5715  "Mr Toppit". Jack Bradshaw used to race 5715 to a big youngster, and I mean BIG, (up to 6-8 weeks old). What a pigeon this would have been on todays widowhood system!  Another point,  sometimes it would come racing back as if scatterbrained and spend lost time on a roof down the road.(and still win) Yes! a one off indeed.  Cheers, Vic.

Gangster, sometimes  I go to the loft for an hour or so, and leave the pc on.  

The only silver hen that comes to mind, belonged to Davie Williams, and a good hen too. There may have been others. Which one are you referring to? Vic. :)
