I noticed a field with these abandoned Land Rovers a few years ago, today Wednesday 12th September 2018 I made a point of visiting the site and capture the scene for my archives.
Only one of the vehicles has a registration number that helped me identify its history.
Reg SSA 296
Vehicle make: LAND ROVER
Colour - Green
Date of first registration: January 1960
Fuel type: PETROL
Vehicle colour: GREEN
Wheelplan: 2-AXLE-RIGID BODY
Revenue weight: 3499kg
Last Road Tax Date 1st October 1987.
I have no knowledge of how long they have been abandoned in this field or the reason why, both look well beyond any form of resurrection.
Land Rover - A Brief History.
Land Rover is a luxury car brand that specialises in four-wheel-drive vehicles, owned by British multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, which has been owned by India's Tata Motors since 2008.
The Land Rover is regarded as a British icon, and was granted a Royal Warrant by King George VI in 1951.
The Land Rover name was originally used by the Rover Company for the Land Rover Series, launched in 1948. It developed into a brand encompassing a range of four-wheel-drive models, including the Defender, Discovery, Freelander, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover Evoque.
Land Rovers are currently assembled in England, India, China, and other markets.
The Land Rover series I, II, and III (commonly referred to as series Land Rovers, to distinguish them from later models) are off-road vehicles produced by the British manufacturer Rover Company that were inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep. As the original Jeep had no doors, the Land Rover was the first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car with doors on it. In 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had built were still in use.
Series models feature leaf-sprung suspension with selectable two or four-wheel drive (4WD); though the Stage 1 V8 version of the series III featured permanent 4WD. All three models could be started with a front hand crank and had the option of a rear power takeoff for accessories.
Development
The Land Rover was conceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Before the war Rover had produced luxury cars which were not in demand in the immediate post-war period and raw materials were strictly rationed to those companies building construction or industrial equipment, or products that could be widely exported to earn crucial foreign exchange for the country. Also, Rover's original factory in Coventry had been bombed during the war, forcing the company to move into a huge "shadow factory" built just before the war in Solihull near Birmingham, and used to construct Bristol Hercules aircraft engines. This factory was now empty but starting car production there from scratch would not be financially viable. Plans for a small, economical car known as the M Type were drawn up, and a few prototypes made, but would be too expensive to produce.
Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar concept to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. He was possibly inspired by the Standard Motor Company, who faced similar problems and were producing the highly successful Ferguson TE20 tractor in their shadow factory in Coventry. More likely, he used his own experience of using an army-surplus Jeep on his farm in Anglesey, North Wales. His design added a power take-off (PTO) feature since there was a gap in the market between jeeps and tractors (which offered the feature but were less flexible as transport). The original Land Rover concept (a cross between a light truck and a tractor) is similar to the Unimog, which was developed in Germany during this period.
The first prototype had a distinctive feature — the steering wheel was mounted in the middle of the vehicle. It hence became known as the "centre steer". It was built on a Jeep chassis and used the engine and gearbox out of a Rover P3 saloon car.
The bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was closely rationed. The choice of colour was dictated by military surplus supplies of aircraft cockpit paint, so early vehicles only came in various shades of light green. The first pre-production Land Rovers were being developed in late 1947 by a team led by engineer Arthur Goddard.
Tests showed this prototype vehicle to be a capable and versatile machine. The PTO drives from the front of the engine and from the gearbox to the centre and rear of the vehicle allowed it to drive farm machinery, exactly as a tractor would. It was also tested ploughing and performing other agricultural tasks. However, as the vehicle was readied for production, this emphasis on tractor-like usage decreased and the centre steering proved impractical in use. The steering wheel was mounted off to the side as normal, the bodywork was simplified to reduce production time and costs and a larger engine was fitted, together with a specially designed transfer gearbox to replace the Jeep unit. The result was a vehicle that didn't use a single Jeep component and was slightly shorter than its American inspiration, but wider, heavier, faster and still retained the PTO drives.
The Land Rover was designed to only be in production for two or three years to gain some cash flow and export orders for the Rover Company so it could restart up-market car production. Once car production restarted, however, it was greatly outsold by the off-road Land Rover, which developed into its own brand that remains successful today. Many of the defining and successful features of the Land Rover design were in fact the result of Rover's drive to simplify the tooling required for the vehicle and to use the minimum amount of rationed materials.
As well as the aluminium alloy bodywork (which has been retained throughout production despite it now being more expensive than a conventional steel body due to its ideal properties of light weight and corrosion resistance) other examples include the distinctive flat body panels with only simple, constant-radius curves (originally used because they could be cut and formed by hand from aluminium sheet on a basic jig) and the sturdy box-section ladder chassis, which on series vehicles was made up from four strips of steel welded at each side to form a box, thus cutting down on the complex welding operations required when making a more conventional U- or I-section frame.

Una pin-up es una modelo cuyas fotografías figuran, principalmente, en las portadas de las revistas o en calendarios, etc. La expresión "pin-up" se popularizó en los EE. UU. en los años 1940, y, luego, se fue haciendo popular internacionalmente. Con este nombre se conocen las fotografías o dibujos de chicas bonitas en actitudes sugerentes o, incluso, nada más que con una sonrisa, o saludando, o mirando a la cámara fotográfica, etc. Su éxito fue tan rotundo que con el tiempo han llegado a influir en muchos terrenos, como el cine, la televisión, la publicidad, los cómics, etc.

Questa categoria di sex-symbol venne identificata col nome di pin-up, e appunto stava a indicare una categoria di splendide ragazze, sensuali e affascinanti, prive di quell'alone di mistero che aveva caratterizzato le "dive" degli anni trenta, elemento che contribuì di certo a conferire loro il favore del pubblico.
Le ho rappresentate con uno sfondo leggermente grunge retrò.

On Sunday 23 March the anchor-handling tug supply vessel Union Manta arrived at her home port of Antwerp following completion at the Orskov shipyard in Frederikshavn, Denmark.
Owned by Unie van Redding en Sleepdienst NV (URS), this sophisticated new vessel was built to a Rolls-Royce/Ulstein UT722 design and represents an investment of ¢35m.
Union Manta is a vessel of 75m in length overall, with a breadth of 18m and maximum draft of 6.6m. Capable of towing, anchor-handling, buoy handling, offshore supply and ROV support, she has a large clear afterdeck with a cargo capacity of 800 tonnes. Internal tanks and transfer equipment are provided for the transportation of a wide range of liquid and dry bulk cargoes.
Two Wartsila main engines running at 750rev/min deliver a total of 20,000bhp (2 x 7360kW) to drive a pair of controllable pitch propellers and two shaft generators. The 4.1m propellers rotate within fixed Kort nozzles.
Twin 'high lift' flap rudders can be operated independently or in unison. Four transverse thrusters, two forward and two aft, are each driven by a 883kW electric motor.
This arrangement gives the vessel excellent manoeuvrability and a bollard pull of over 210 tonnes.
A massive Brattvaag/Rolls Royce triple drum towing and anchor-handling winch is installed.
All three drums have a maximum brake holding load of 625 tonnes and line pull of 500 tonnes. The largest drum can accommodate 8,000m of 72mm diameter steel wire rope, and the smaller drums 3,000m. Two tugger winches have a line pull of 65 tonnes and split drum stern roller has a maximum safe working load of 500 tonnes. A stern mounted 'A' frame by Hydralift has a safe Union Manta is capable of working in deep water with a towed plough to bury pipelines of 2m diameter and to carry out anchor-handling operations in water depths of up to 3,000m.
A dynamic positioning system is fitted that allows the vessel to maintain station to an accuracy of 1m in rough seas and in winds up to force 6. This facility in conjunction with the 'A' frame enables Remotely Operated Vehicles to be deployed to carry out a wide range of underwater tasks in deep water.
Accommodation is available onboard for up to 37 persons, including crew and specialist personnel, in 17 single and 10 double cabins. The vessel is air-conditioned throughout and has two fully equipped offices and a fully fitted and well fitted galley.
Union Manta is scheduled to operate in the Brazilian offshore oilfields on long term charter to Heerema. URS expect to order a second tug of a similar type and dimensions in 2004.
