- After a long haul with a convoy of articulated lorries travelling from the north of England to Brussels in Belgium, Jim Gibbon and his team from the Up North Combine released thousands of pigeons for the long flight home.
It is this journey, the organisation that gave rise to it, the lives of the fanciers, the drivers, and of course the pigeons that provide the backbone of our film. The kernal is the liberation of the birds and their astonishing struggle to get back to their lofts. The key attribute of these "athletes of the sky", as Jim Gibbon explains, is their combination of stamina and brains.
I used too race when I was younger, I haven't had any birds for sum time and really miss the sport. My Uncle was in the U.S. signal corps stationed in England during WW2 he got me started with birds at a young age. He was in England for 4 years receiving messages from the French Underground. I miss my Uncle since he passed away but the memories of the good times we had with the birds will never fade away. I'm 65 years old now and retired and have been thinking about putting up a small loft and flying a few pairs just for the enjoyment of watching the birds fly. Thanks for the nice vid.

Great up north combine at Brussels hard to judge with weather conditions hard job to do specially when you have thousands of pigeons to look after g9od news at last blue skies showing through
This pigeon documentary❤
Foot and Mouth happened 2001 so I totally agree with you Susan H. UNC Had 3 Brussells races that year.
nice video these bitds are pretty smart & i believe that us coustgard use them to rescue ppl what human can't see this pigeons can for miles & miles.
the grid coordinates of each coop is entered into a computer, along with the exact time of arrival of the pigeon at it's own individual coop. Then each individual pigeon's average speed is calculated mathematically, and the fastest speed is the race winner. See Wikipedia to read about it.
ill pick up the stragglers and give them safety. I like rehabbed, happy birds. I guess racing is fairly cruel. it is just a bird and life's meant to be exciting racing animals is a thrill. I wouldn't do it but can see the fun.
I just inherited my Dads birds, he flew in Brooklyn and then on Long Island NY for over 70 years...
I've posted some videos on my channel... Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year 2015... ;)
i have three pairs. i am a hobbiest not a racing person. I watch racing homer vids all the time and never see any women. why dont the ladies in the family get involved? are there any you ever knew of? I am one. I love pigeons and am pretty much the local downtown feral bird re-habber and reference to local wildlife centres. i just know alot about htem, have a well stocked supply cupboard, and love to help them. It is beautiful when they all fly out of the truck at once. facinating, and their algorythems are beautiful as well. Viva las palomas
A good question. In old days, an owner may enter multiple racers (pigeons) to a race. The owner has a pigeon clock in which he enters the "driver" which uniquely identify the racer with a stamped time. The owner bring the clock to the organizer to prove the time of his racers. You can find vintage pigeon clock at eBay.
The Up North Combine didn't go to Brussels in 1999 - it wasn't one of their normal race points - the only time they went to Brussels around that time was 2001
yards per min,the pigeon with the highest velocity wins the race
I wish I knew...............I was on the boat when the race finished, and I'm no expert.
Perhaps you could email the Up North Combine? Don't forget, though - I made this video in 1999, things may have moved on since then. Stuart
great video
What was that pigeons on that pot?🤔lol
He was a bombastic arrogant bloke was Derek Towers but the UNC was a better organisation with him and Alf Rothwell around
great video lads,, n,irish still the toughest in the uk tho lol
pigeon that can fly highest and the fastest to get the ground declare as the best pigeon... what about that?

Imagine if they did turkey racing, but gave them jetpacks and attached credit cards to them so that they're able to refuel at Shell garages.
viri nice

What's the title music theme called? It's very dovey-- I mean lovely
I love racing pegion can you give me some 2of that becuz i want to be a racing tranor...
Long distance racing should be band, them poor birds a cramped up for days then got that massive mission to get home. And many won't make it
Cry baby little bitches should be band. I bet you have never even sean a racing hommer in person
You just let other people make up your mind for you. You have no idea what you are talking about
you're so weak and you feel all so bad about yourself that you need to treat animal like they're your object ? They are as intelligent as humans, and obviously more kind, because they would never hurt people.
Really racing pigeons are treated better then most people
Most brutal form of sport and cruelty
جميل رائع

very cruel 'sport'
Rachy Penguins no it isn't. if you mistreate pigeons, they will simply not return home. They race home because they feel safe and content there. Just like any other time humans have animals, there is going to be cruelty inflicted by cruel or ignorant individuals, but they are the exception, in my experience.
So it's alright to make them feel like their 'safe home' is over seas which they will probably drown in? Plus the losers have their necks snapped? wilson blauheuer
Very few people do the races over the ocean. Most people dont to it( not that there is anything wrong with it) peta just makes it look 100 times worst then it really is
The raceing birds love what the do
