Thanks for sharing the articles Mike...good read and sparked so many memories from the back of my mind of things tucked away....can only remember your family name from performance's and being secretary of MNFC... as in the past the name lycett was a regular when reading through the weeklies and pictorials i can see why now....taking birds to the train station for training...Motta and the Van Hee ERA...can still see that image of him even now...the Van Den Bosche strain i had the good fortune to visit Karel Mulleman 1986...Andre Berte jansens the agent exporting all or most Belgium pigeons at that time told me in his opinion they were the best...the lofts and birds of George Litherland ended up im my neck of the woods...youve given me food for thought to keep me going a long time....thanks Mike

Are the Vd bosch pigeons still going today from a particular source in the UK today or have they been blended mixed with other strains.
If they are still about from when you had them are they still competitive.
