Nice watch Devo
I am sure Mike flew the VDB with great success before his Gaby pigeons I think he had a outstanding pencil cock
When I was a kid they were really successful in the East End of London out to Essex from Albert Babbington then went into overdrive once crossed with the Planet brothers pigeons
Lovely blues and pencils the odd pied
It’s nice to see the blood is still winning and not just disappearing into a new name like so many old strains

Yes i agree Neil, some great family of birds have come to the UK. And there has been some great flyers, using these birds to do some great cross breeding.

That video is of the Van Den Brande Bros of Berlaar Neil

It's them that bred "GOED GRIJS" for Andre and Bert Leideman

My Pencil was a Van Den Bosche - he was a good un.
