Good strains never go out of fashion,all the (new strains) all relate back to the top strains of many years ago, there is no magic wand and hey presto a new strain is born. :drinking-coffee-200:

they all have to come from somewhere...its who gets them and what races they want to win.

Buschaert could hardly give them away at one time...sprint rubbish..

This years NIPA French race from St Malo was a total disaster with the birds liberated in poor visibility and a strong west wind on the channel, only 10 birds were recorded in race time over the three day period and four of these brave birds all contained Delbar bloodlines.

George's used to buy the best birds in Belgium whatever the strain.

 

And many more places.

His sister flew a good bird too.

Incidentally George holds and has held many records in Belgium. After devastating the Kent amal etc. and going back he still flew a brilliant bird. O.K. he wasn't well like for buying originally from Delbar. Hence never given the credit there he deserved by a long chalk... But a better stockman and racer would be very hard to find.
