when he moved into Norfolk in the 90's I used to fly with him, we become good pals over the years and most years he will come and stay with us unless he is away abroad. his old finnish line of Goshawks was the purest of pure with some real belters coming out of his stable, you probably saw his old female fly "Belan"? she was a cracker in her younger days and was once witnessed flying a cock bird out of the top of a valley and over a church steeple in the lower valley, it was a long way down to carry that Pheasant when she finally bound to it, must of been a grand sight looking up and seeing that .....

 

I'll definitley mention it to him Paulus, here's a quick picture of me in my younger days with Bob and another good austringer Ronny Moore at a party..

:laugh: I'll speak to him soon via email and mention it to him . he was my fulltime flying buddy as we lived pretty close to each other, must say when he packed up and moved on alot of my enthusiasm went with him. flown with alot of decent lads since but had the most sport and enjoyment flying with Bob .....
