Hello Oskar, I have never seen a mealy tippler ever, The only yellows I
have seen is at Ronnie Camplins loft micks brothers, Boden strain, The only
reds where Lovett's from Hanley, or Les Eagles Blood reds from Sheffield,
and that was a long time ago 50 years ago you mentioned Mr Hunts birds ,Is
this guy from England, from Sheffield area, Before my time, he had a lot of
records in that area, but I never seen his birds, The birds can sure fly
16hours in the rain good birds, send me some Oskar, good flying birds ,I can
honourley say I have never seen a print Hughes but flyers say they have
them, I have seen a pure white Hughes, and this bird flow over 22 hours, a
Tommy Dilks Hughes, he has the purest Hughes in the country second to none.
Tommy was at Hughes CREE, every week and knows the birds in side out most of
his birds go back to the 1960s and Gordon's record birds, If you see a Tommy
Dilks pedigree total history, Generations of the Gordon Hughes Stain of
Tipplers, every bird Gordon has had is on the pedigree, TOTAL HISTORY, Colin
Bristow from Willenhall has Almond Tipplers, yes English tipplers as the
birds were born in England, When I first seen them 1970s were flying 8hours
now 2011 there are flying 18 hours his own strain buiteful birds and good
flyers, One can only talk about what you have seen on your travels, Keep
them flying Oskar from one old timer to another, Kind regards barney
