34/40 i2 of the missing have flown the channel ! Never sent so many birds to a race and never again . But best race we have had so far as birds had to do the work . Amazed at my late breds have not had a lot of training and they just keep plodding on .

[eastcoaster]

[tommy bhoys]

Depending in which flight?

i tend tae pull them dal just interested what other flyers do every day is a school day for me if it was a end flight what would you do dal?

[dal2]

Think it's 5 in

Only exeptional birds with moult to the 5th and win. .......so I would let it race and put it bye for next year when I thought it had done enough. Only my opinion many will disagree
