Last year We had a youngster clocked at 1824 meters per minute. She was the 2nd fastest pigeon in all of germany from over 120.000 pigeons. Made into the tauben-markt magazine etc. Definitely alot of pigeons missing there but still a great video !

Back i the day the Westcotts were popular in the area plus the old East Anglian pieds but what there origins were who knows. Amazing the record has stood for 49 years.
