Sometmes you get a fancier who's ahead of the game

Planet Bros with their Van Loon based birds

I've seen it with Babbo with the Van Den Bosche

Kirkland with the Alfons Bauwens

Leb with the Robert Venus


Oh yea - these were all pigeons that they'd introduced in a bid to improve rather than sit stagnating ;)

The Wildermeersch were a hell of a pigeon. I went there once

Me and Leb went at it hammer and tongue each week in the 90's

Him with the FVW and me with the Van Den Bosche - 2 super families head to head each week - Great Stuff!

When I think of FVW there's 2 names that spring to my mind

Walters & Broadhurst and Clive Yates with his Dad

Leb's FVW came via Walters & Broadhurst
