War pigeons...

Having said that, will you come round and tell your mates I am not amused...

Whilst hosing copious gobs of pigeon sh!t off the car today, one of the sods did a high pass precision drop on my bloody head...

Irked, I am...

"Of the 54 Dickin Medals awarded to animals, 32 of them went to pigeons."

I'd call that Gong Hunting by the pigeon community, to be honest.

I'd also hope that one of the remaining 22 medals was awarded to a certain Black Labrador, buried at Scampton.

The Valiant model in the OP actually crashed on its second or third flight. The guy lives near me and I've spoken to his father on several occasions about it. He is however building a slightly smaller one but that is taking a while to complete as 'wife' commitments keep getting in the way
