Highest speeds
In level flight in windless conditions it is very doubtful if any pigeon can exceed 96km/h 60mph. The highest race speed recorded is one of 2952m 3229yd per min (177.14km/h 110.07mph) in the East Anglian Federation race from East Croydon, Surrey on 8 May 1965 when the 1428 birds were backed by a powerful south-south-west wind. The winner was owned by A. Vigeon & Son, Wickford, Essex.
