SU 25 4586 Cheq “Marzipan” winner of 84th Open Final Race Ballygawley 275 miles and 372nd HS1, 362nd HS2, 57th HS3, 136th HS4 and 44th Semi-Final for ‘Cherry Tree Lofts.
This was bred by Douglas Owen, who has been fortunate to be friendly with Nigel Langstaff and the late Ian Crammond. He obtained some Jan Aarden based pigeons from Ian and Nigel in 2004 and then some Vandenabeele’s from their stock birds in 2008. They come through the M & D Evans lines of Shadow, Carrie, Jester, Eisenhower etc. He also obtained a full brother to ‘Crackerjack’ that won 1st Open L&SECC Bergerac for Ian and Nigel.
These and his old family, largely based on the birds of Alan Wilson, Locharbriggs, John Tyerman, Brackesham and Mr & Mrs Eric Cannon of Godalming have served him well over the years.
This lot is from a full brother/sister pairing.
