to be honest I doubt it's a Normandy -- you have not mentioned a
crest.


I don't know about a crest, he has a small knob on his head., is that
what you mean?

Thats more likely to have some chinese in it.
http://www.ashtonwaterfowl.net/ewsgeese.htm scroll down -- the Normandy's
have a crest of feathers.


Many domestic geese end up with this patching of colouring. Its
common of many crosses.


He is also an excellent flier. Given a slight downhill run he
easily got airborn and flew about 500m.

Definately sounds like a chinese cross, they tend to be lighter and more
athletic, the physics works better. We have chinese/ grey back crosses and
they are great birds.
