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

Could you get the FVW down to one ?
Would it be Mr Grinsel for a foundation or the fabulous Walter and broadhurst for there racing record

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
