I have also added a more recent photograph of Andy. The dark chequer pied hen was raced by the Brown and Black partnership and she won 5th open SNFC Sartilly when my national winner ‘Mystical Rose’ won the race. Davie Brown found some nostalgic pictures all Midlothian federation winners against 5,000 plus birds from yesteryear and all these birds were Busschaerts. Davie joking said ‘I wish I had these birds today Joe’. I will cover some more of these winners over the following weeks.
