A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

Interesting to note that a quote from Hansard is listed by a Dane!  

Also that the arcane workings of our Parliament only allowed 10 minutes for this proposal to be presented.  

No account seems to have been payed to the needs of Her Majesty's racing pigeons, (She would not be expected/allowed to comment anyway!), but I don't suppose that she took them Herself to the local pub to be ringed and dispatched. I wonder if the Royal Loft still exists?

 

The Queen keeps racing pigeons? I can see a really interesting modelling challenge there! Rob, how about a royal carriage next to your pigeon van?

 

Hansard came up in a Google search. I was interested to see that "hear hear" actually gets recorded.

Or how about Robin painting his pigeon van in the Royal purple lake livery?!

 

Having seen the work with teak livery by the likes of Goddard, Geary and Trice that might be a good idea rather than shew myself up.

Robin,

That last comment could have been worded better!

 

I sometimes wonder if Jenny realises her good name is being bandied around here.  Its good to see a railway photo back again to keep this topic on track!

 

Brian.
