Hello barney how's it going them whites are really pretty birds I had my
photo taken with them with Danny mcarthy they are quite rare to see pure
white tipplers I've just had the privilege. of looking after those 3 whites
in my loft while ian was away on holiday with our good friend Ahmed Memet of
Bulgaria The reason Tom Dilks ended up sustaining the Badge line for all of
30 year plus is because Gorden didn't use the badge cocks Tom dilks used to
take those . Really nice birds Tom has maintained over the years when he
gives ian Elstob the paper work some of them birds go back before I was born
Tom states if he has to write out the pedigrees for some he would need a
roll of wall paper I will have to take a copy of a few and post the details
amazing to see ring numbers going back before I was born I was talking to
Tom this year on the night I dropped 2 youngbirds on 19 hours 40 I was
sending him live pictures from. My phone . I love talking to Tom about his
experiences on the phone he knows a lot of history I can talk to him for
hours and he is really knowlegeble on his stain I've just learned he had a
visit from Mike tyson Dave
