Ah, well, the Halford pigeon could have been requested by a hastily-scribbled note and carried to their main offices by horse-drawn coach to the nearest staging post, and from thence by private messenger. The bird being despatched back to you via the same route.

Of course, you could have crafted said hastily-scribbled note to incorporate your complaint and thus dispensed with much to'ing and fro'ing, but for that dash of drama I think an nearly-exhausted bird missing the loft and flying in through the MD's window by mistake, crash landing on his desk and flapping pathetically as the note is detached holds more appeal.

That wouldn't exhaust a pigeon unless it was poorly fed/ untrained :P

Race they won from Tarbes this year:
Released 7th july 13:30 flew 719 miles 1367 yards arriving 19:00 on the 8th.

they gave a velocity of 937 yards a minute.
