Iv been all over uk Midlands, North west ,north east ,lived down south moved to Suffolk then Norfolk been belg ,Holland, Germany, had 100s loft visits there's only 1LOFT I walked out off and thought fuk me if I lived next door I struggle my tits of they seemed light years in front of every loft iv ever visited and to this day iv never seen any one or team on this level the stuff they told me was nothing like I had ever heard ,ever just on levels way above I had ever seen and that's the partnership of Brian and Karen Hawes,
Iv been told Kevin lawson is same but only spoke on phone to Kevin,

Can members on here share there story's of lofts that left a impression that lasts a life time .

Im only 13 but I've been told many loft visits but 1 guy and many trophies along the way im talking about Clive Yates i went last year to give him a grizzle for his wife and because I've always had a interest in channel flying i went with a sheet of about 7 questions and this just young bird season gone he took the first I think might be wrong but 1st 25 of his fed and are grizzle was 5th fed but joint 1st fed

You guys are all very lucky, ive only ever had the opportunity to visit one other loft except for some the lads local to me, that being Mcsween and Sexton from the NE, so dont really having anything much to offer.
I guess that shows my status in the pigeon world lol.

It's an easy one for me

I've been all over Europe and had the pleasure of verifying National/Classic winners within 24 hours of their victory for 15 years and more

One loft stands head and shoulders from what I encountered

That was the late 1980's team of George & Brenda Litherland

They were simply majestic

Totally agree Mike, they were magnificent.
Top people and the best team of pigeons I've seen and handled.

And when you ask yourself did those birds go on and win races for other people in other lofts then dear me, I mean hundreds of 1st prizes doesn't even tell half the story

Yes Mike, you get some top lofts that when birds are purchased from them, they don't perform for others, it's more down to the fancier, their location and their opposition
In the Litherlands Van Den Bosche, Meulemans and Kellens, they won bucket loads for many people, well established lofts and many back garden lofts. In a nutshell, they were a tremendous source of good birds., that won in many hands.
