the story about each picture is below it
The above cock bird won Grand Champion racing at the Perth Royal Show for four consecutive years.
In six years showing he won Champion racing pigeon in every show he was exhibited in
For a period of time I combined with Ron Dalziell to show as Dalmore lofts, in most of the shows we exhibited
in under that name we won nearly every Champion Racing Pigeon Sachs
The particular show that this photo was take was the Perth Royal Show, we won most of the racing pigeon
classes and all the Champion sachs that were to be won
The pigeon's in the picture were two of three that flew the distance of 274 miles in 3 and1/2 half hours they
all homed together.
The velocity for the winning birds was 2246 MPM or converted 2437 YPM
This photo made the front page of the States afternoon paper, it was also on both radio and television
I had decide to have one more race before I moved to my new house, the race was decide on that weekend of
the move.
The day of the move all the birds were home except one, I had to remove the loft to my new location
so I expected to go back and pick up the bird if it homed.
After three weeks this bird turned up at my new house and sat in front of the trap waiting to
go in.
Although the move was only just over a mile away the bird must have flown around until it saw the loft
