A good bit of experience for them then Les.

Thick here but how will nest flights help them

Not thick at all Buster. It’s just an observation. Latebreds hatched quite late in the year (July onwards) often won’t moult through the whole wing in their first moult. Rather than help it probably puts them at a slight disadvantage as these end flights will be old flights and possible have a bit of damage. The other thing that can happen is they can moult from both ends of the wing or dropping 2 flights together. Latebreds that do well still carrying nest flights in my opinion are very good pigeons and should do even better the following season with a wing full of new feathers.
