Darren yes you are correct with the mulemans and the van den bosch raced them myself but they were sprint pigeons the van den bosch big powerful birds just like your aviator mate

Marien was karel mulemans son in law and they raced in partnership for a few years but if my memory is correct i think he had a drink problem and killed himself or had an accident which killed him but it was karel who was the pigeon flyer at the end of the day

Karel flow with Adriann Wourters at first if you want to know about the breed "Van Den Bosch" then get the Albert Babington Book or the Karel Mulemans Book

as far as i was aware the "Van Den Bosch" birds are janssen based, the mulemans are also janssens but weather they are the janssens bros we all know about or just someone with the same popular name i dont know.........


mark browns your man to tell you............

thanks don for the info and yes he did commit suicide shame,

derenbonk pigeons are all van den bosch based mate he won a national race with youngsters a few years ago but have not heared about him for a few years now mate

But he did buy the best around at the time van den bosch theat is mate
