Gruppo MG Rover

Il Gruppo MG Rover (in inglese: MG Rover Group) è stata un'azienda automobilistica inglese, nata nel 2000 dallo scorporo di alcuni marchi del Gruppo Rover. La storia Alla fine del 2000 il gruppo Rover venne smembrato dalla proprietaria del gruppo, la BMW, in tre parti: il marchio "MINI" venne scorporato diventando un marchio controllato direttamente da BMW; la divisione fuoristrada Land Rover venne venduta alla Ford; Rover, MG, e altri marchi del gruppo vennero ceduti, al costo simbolico di una sterlina, al Consorzio Phoenix, un gruppo di quattro imprenditori guidato dall'ultimo amministratore delegato del gruppo Rover, John Towers. Il Consorzio Phoenix, per dar maggior risalto al marchio MG, decise di chiamare il gruppo "MG Rover". Fallimento L'azienda è entrata in amministrazione controllata nell'aprile del 2005. Dopo una complicata trattativa che ha coinvolto due delle maggiori aziende automobilistiche cinesi, da un lato la Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) la quale fin dal 2000 aveva avviato una partnership con MG Rover e che per prima aveva iniziato le trattative, acquistando i progetti per la fabbricazione delle auto in produzione (Rover 25 e 75, ora proposte sul mercato con il neonato marchio Roewe) e dall'altro la società Nanjing Automobile Corporation, nel luglio 2005 viene pronunciato il fallimento. Nella procedura legale di liquidazione, alla fine la SAIC si aggiudica l'acquisto del marchio "MG Rover" e degli impianti industriali. La chiusura ha significato la perdita di lavoro per i circa 6000 dipendenti dello storico stabilimento di Longbridge. Nel 2006 i diritti di utilizzo del marchio Rover sono stati rilevati dalla Ford, onde evitare diatribe e confusioni con i cinesi per il marchio Land Rover; in seguito sono stati venduti a loro volta alla Tata Motors. Nel 2008 il gruppo SAIC, che nel frattempo aveva inglobato la Nanjing Automobile Corporation, ha ripreso la produzione a marchio "MG", oltre che in Cina, anche nello storico impianto di Longbridge. Modelli Non avendo risorse per nuovi modelli, la produzione rimase sostanzialmente quella del vecchio gruppo Rover, producendo alcune varianti: una Rover 25 con un'estetica rinnovata (Rover Streetwise) e la serie Z con il marchio MG, che proponeva versioni sportive dei modelli Rover (ZR, ZS e ZT). L'unico modello nuovo fu la Rover CityRover, basata sulla Tata Indica. Nel 2004 l'intera gamma (ad eccezione della Streetwise e della CityRover) ricevette un facelift. Modelli ereditati dal gruppo Rover Rover 25 Rover 45 Rover 75 MG F Modelli originali MG ZR (2001 - derivata dalla Rover 25) MG ZS (2001 - derivata dalla Rover 45) MG ZT (2001 - derivata dalla Rover 75) MG TF (2002 - seconda serie della MG F) Rover Streetwise (2003 - derivata dalla Rover 25) Rover CityRover (2004 - basata sulla Tata Indica) Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su MG Rover Collegamenti esterni (EN) Sito ufficiale MG, su mg-uk.co.uk.

100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum

The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, located in the original control tower and other remaining buildings of the RAF Thorpe Abbotts airfield east of Diss in Norfolk is named after the 100th Bomb Group and is dedicated to the American soldiers and members of the US 8th Air Force who fought with the Allies in Norfolk in World War II. The area also became known as the "Fields of Little America" due to the number of Americans stationed there. The entire former control tower is now museum space that highlights documents, photographs, uniforms and service equipment, plus a recreation of the original teleprinter room. The museum's collection includes a number of maps and other war-related artefacts from World War II's effects on the soldiers stationed there and how the group eventually came to be called the "Bloody Hundredth". The roof of the control tower is known as the glasshouse, from where the remaining airstrips are visible. It remains as it was when the airfield was operational with the addition of a model of the airbase in the 1940s. References External links Official website
Holy Cross Church, Bearsted

Holy Cross is a parish church of the Church of England in Bearsted, Kent. Its construction began in the 13th century. Building Construction of the church began in the 13th century and continued in stages during the 14th and 15th centuries. It is built of local rag-stone and the roofs are covered with plain tiles. The nave is flanked by a single aisle on the north side and entered from a porch on the south side. At the west end of the nave is a square three-storey tower with a crenellated parapet, a stair turret on its south-east corner and staggered buttresses on the other three corners. Three stone beasts sit on the corners of the parapet. These are replacements of originals eroded over time, which may have originally represented three wolves from the ancestor of Fludd line Rhirid Flaidd coat of arms. The arcade between the nave and aisle has four bays and was constructed in the 14th century with the two at the east end rebuilt in the 15th century. A single arch at the west end of the arcade is possibly Anglo-Saxon. The south wall of the nave contains a stair to the rood loft. The chancel contains 13th-century sedile and piscina. Restoration of the church includes 19th-century panelling and pews in the nave and aisle, followed by 20th-century replacement of much of the roof. The windows are generally small, except for those at the east end of the nave and aisle and above the doorway in the west wall of the tower. The south wall of the church features 13th-century lancet windows on the left of the porch and in the chancel. The windows on the north side are 14th century. The church features monuments to Margarete and Steven Mason (died 1552 and 1560), Henrye Brockill of Aldington (died 1596), Susanna Cage (died 1634) and floor tablets to Eleonor, John and Guillemo Cage (late 17th century). Elizabeth Andras (died 1592), wife of Sir Thomas Fludd, and her son Robert Fludd, the physician and occultist (died 1637), are also commemorated with memorials in the church, the later with a bust on a plinth. The Milgate Chantry is a fourteenth century chantry located to the north of the aisle. It was suppressed in 1536, and subsequently belonged to the owners of Milgate House, Thurnham. From the 1560s until 1624 this was the Fludd family. The church sits in a small churchyard to which is attached a larger graveyard to the east. John Dyke, the last man hanged on Penenden Heath, in 1830, is buried in the graveyard. The church is a Grade I listed building (listed since 1967), and the churchyard contains three table tombs and the village war memorial which are listed Grade II.

Birchills (narrowboat)

Birchills is a historic, ‘Joey’ boat with a small day cabin, built in 1953 by Ernest Thomas of Walsall. Birchills was one of the last wooden day boats made and was used to carry coal to Birchills Power Station and Wolverhampton Power Station. It is the only surviving 'Joey' with a day cabin. This boat is double-ended and the mast and rudder could be changed from one end to the other which enabled its use in narrow canals or basins where there was no room to turn the boat around. It is now owned by the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, where it is based and can be seen dockside in the Lord Ward's Canal Arm. Birchills underwent major restoration in early 2015 following £62,000 worth of donations. Donations were received from the Headley Trust, the PRISM (Preservation for Industrial and Scientific Materials) Fund, the William A Cadbury Charitable Trust, the Rowland Trust and members of the public.

Diamond (narrowboat)

Diamond was built by John Crichton & Co. of Saltney, Chester for Midland and Coast Canal Carrying Company of Wolverhampton. The boat was built in Chester in 1927 and first registered at Wolverhampton in 1928. She was one of six iron boats in the fleet fitted with two cabins for long-distance traffic between the Black Country and the ports on the Mersey Estuary. Having been damaged during an air raid on Birmingham in 1944 she was sold for scrap to Ernest Thomas by Fellows, Morton & Clayton who had by then acquired Midlands and Coast. Rebuilt and renamed ‘Henry’ she carried coal until the 1960s when she was resold to ‘Caggy’ Stevens of Oldbury and renamed ‘Susan’. It is now owned by the Black Country Living Museum, where it is based and can be seen dockside in the Lord Ward's Canal Arm at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley. Diamond is on the National Historic Ships register. References External links National Historic Ships official website Black Country Living Museum official website
