Another pigeon which springs to mind is Hillside Natrix. Who Won 1st Open BICC Marseille an incredible three years in a row, roughly 600+ miles. Jim Biss Won 20 total BICC Open wins, with his 15 triumphs from Marseille serving as the pinnacle of his long-distance career. He also Won 1st Open NFC 646 miles. In total 21 x 1st Nationals
