| I was the secretary to the National Birmingham Roller Association for 10 years and also the Co ordinator for the World Cup Fly in Europe. I have seen Gordons birds many times over the years, as I went on every National and World Cup Fly taking the judge round and scoring for him. Gordon flew some of the best birds I have seen in England. Thinking back I think he won through to fly in the Nationals every year I was secretary and won it once, which takes some doing as you are flying against the best fliers in England. You see more crested birds in the North East of England but they are all over the place. I flew Peter Harper and Phil Calver birds and their birds though out the crest as they were the same strain of roller. I have been to Canada,America,South Africa,Holland and Australia to judge kits and seen crested birds in all countries. I know live in North Cyprus at Esentepe, so I no longer keep rollers but still keep in touch with the lads and check out the roller sites most days. Keep Em Flying Paul Lee. | |
