Apparently it was illegal to keep Homing Pigeons, as they were needed for the War Effort.

..So.....a Very Important Man From The War Ministry would knock on your door and demand that all the Pigeons were set free...

...which they were...

Guess what...

...as soon as The Very Important Man From The War Ministry left...

They all came back Home again!... Smiley

Paul.... Grin

Oh that is quite alright to use the apostrophe that way as I read, write, speak and type in Canadian and not English or Yankee Doodle... Grin

I have to say I chuckled at the paragraph talking about bioweapons. To the best of my knowledge pigeons already are bioweapons, ask Nelson on his column Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Muphry's Law in full effect Grin

Could they not have encouraged everyone to keep the pigeons? They're horrific birds, and now they've spread!
