THE QUEEN'S WINGS [Excerpts from the 1 Hour 15 Minute Documentary]

Award-winning American documentary filmmaker Jim Jenner was invited to create a film about the epic 2012 national pigeon race between England's Queen and her countrymen. Jenner created the movie at the invitation of England's Midland's National Flying Club, which organized the 2012 Diamond Jubilee race honoring Queen Elizabeth's sixty-year reign. The film includes the 126-year history of the Royal racing pigeons as well as the race day performances of more a dozen of England's most palatial and revered racing lofts. Jim was given unprecedented access to the lofts on the Queen's Sandringham Estate and time with its new manager Peter Farrow. This intense race saw 5,000 competitors, include birds from the Royal Loft, compete over the fields of France, across the channel and into the heart of England.

The Midland National Flying Club was a brilliant club around 2012-2015. The buzz on race day in my area was huge.
I love how you narrate your films Jim, Secrets of Champions DVD’s help me get through the Winter!

Thanks for the kind words. This was a wonderful film to work on because it concentrated on a single race. Such a privilege to visit her Majesty's lofts and tell this story.

Wow. Fascinating preview. I doubt that most non-racers (like me) have any idea how refined this sport has become over the centuries- let alone glimpsed the potential it holds for anchoring people to the natural world. Bravo, James- great job!

Wow! I could only imagine how selected and cared for those birds must be to be in the royal loft. Golly, I don't even want to think about how much it would cost me to get one lol. Greetings and best of luck from Atlanta GA, your grace. 🕊️🕊️🇺🇲🇬🇧🕊️🕊️
