️ SU25AF1044 – “Jim’s Final Flight” – A Very Special Pigeon ❤️
A lovely medium-sized, short and stocky pigeon with plenty of quality. Very well balanced in the hand, with a strong back, extremely tight vent and a striking, strongly coloured violet eye. A really nice pigeon to handle and one that has now shown its quality and consistency across two Autumn Ace campaigns.
In the 2025 Autumn Ace series, Jim’s Final Flight completed all six Hotspots, producing some excellent performances along the way, including 8th in Hotspot 4 and 32nd in Hotspot 5, to finish a very respectable 53rd Ace overall.
2025 Results:
Hotspot 1 – 317th
Hotspot 2 – 120th
Hotspot 3 – 270th
Hotspot 4 – 8th
Hotspot 5 – 32nd
Hotspot 6 – 96th
53rd Ace Pigeon
The 2026 season really speaks for itself. Jim’s Final Flight produced a superbly consistent campaign, beginning with an outstanding 4th from Kingsdown and going on to record five top-35 finishes from six races. He continued to perform as the distance increased, taking 31st from Alençon at 246 miles and 22nd from Nort-sur-Erdre at 248 miles, ultimately finishing a fantastic 9th Ace Pigeon overall.
2026 Results:
Kingsdown – 54 miles – 4th
Wincanton – 94 miles – 31st
Stoneycross – 122 miles – 35th
Guernsey – 121 miles – 61st
Alençon – 246 miles – 31st
Nort-sur-Erdre – 248 miles – 22nd
9th Ace Pigeon
Consistency and pure heart — just like Jim. ❤️
This pigeon comes with a particularly special story.
He was entered into the Autumn Ace Pigeon Challenge by Jim Smith for his much-loved grandson, Harrison. Sadly, Jim has since passed away.
In memory of Jim and the love he had for his grandson, every penny raised from the sale of this pigeon will go directly to Harrison.
So this is much more than the sale of a pigeon. It is a lovely way to honour Jim’s memory and leave something special for the grandson he loved so dearly.
With 53rd Ace in 2025 and an outstanding 9th Ace in 2026, Jim’s Final Flight has certainly done Jim and Harrison proud. We hope he finds a fantastic new home and, most importantly, raises as much as possible for Harrison. ❤️ ️
Awaiting Pedigree.
