I was just looking back at some of the old family of birds, i came across this bird. Some old names involved in the pedigree.

Some famous names on the image alright, but I wouldn't like to guess how far back on the pedigree they are
The Meuleman Janssen were a great pigeon for me in the 1990's
Crossed with the Kellens Van Den Bosche they were dynamite
If I had to create a "dream team" of my 16 best ever widowers there'd be a decent amount of Meuleman x Van Den Bosche in there
(I steered well clear of the Chocolates though. Chocolates are for eating not flying)

One of the very very best Jelle Jellema pigeons is "OLYMPIC ROMEE"
An Ace Racer she's a wonderful producer too
Yes there's 8 days to go, but there's G.Children of this fine hen for 140 euro and 190 euro at the mo
Also a G.Son of super talented "Snelle Jelle" currently at 150 euro
