peter pandy Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Away and chase yersel McIntosh.... Mr White is a fancier beyond your dreams and a gentleman to boot . still deemed unfit by the SNFC lolI do believe you have missed my point of view Steve as I have never at any time denigrated Race Controllers and my point is A CONVOYER SHOULD BE TO MY MIND A FANCIER OR X FANCIER NOT SOMEONE CAPABLE OF DRIVING A TRUCK. and please dont forget to include the addition of Mr when using surnames as it is bad manners.

Ps I'm no channel flyer and good luck whoever does the job even on a perfect day with perfect transportation you'll still have erratic racing aw ra best for 2018

yeboah Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 A do agree with u they are a massive problem but look at ypres race , a day less in the basket and a different channel crossing and returns have been great for myselfYes less time in baskets Davy can only be good With liege further inland with a strong sw wind will cause problems sure last time we were there was a stinker For me Davy Jamieson's was the most sensible proposal The longest race is now a sprint to moffat lol
Valiant Fifer Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Think I said the other day last time the SNFC were at Leige Les Mackays winner was flying 529 mls. Well I looked up an old year book and i was wrong the winner was in fact flying 527 mls with a vel of 1248 against 1,564 birds!
