Thornley Kelham to spend 1000s of hours restoring rare Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS back to original condition.

Classic and vintage car restoration specialist Thornley Kelham https://www.thornleykelham.com/ is undertaking its most challenging project yet. The project is a complete nut-and-bolt Concours-standard restoration of a rare Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS, with an even more extraordinary history. This particular Alfa Romeo comes complete with records showing the car was delivered to its first owner, Italian dictator ‘II Duce’ Benito Mussolini, on January 13, 1930, for almost $10,000.

The Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS was one of the most popular and successful sports-racing cars of its day. No fewer than 13 competed in the 1929 Mille Miglia, of which eight finished. Seven were among the first ten including overall winner and third place. Cars were built up as rolling chassis, which were then bodied by coachbuilders including Carrozzerie touring and Zagato, and Stabilimenti Farina.



Extensive research by Thornley Kelham https://teamspeed.com/articles/fix-you- ... -the-year/ tracked down period black and white images of the exact car in Archivio Luce https://www.archivioluce.com/ (the main archive for Cinecitta) in Italy, taken on April 29, 1931. The historic images show Mussolini driving the car. They also found film footage of Mussolini driving the car while leading ‘II Radio Auto-Raduno’ on a section of the rally from Roma to Ostia. It is these early images and film footage that help define the clearest indication of the Alfa Romeo’s original appearance.

By enlarging one of the period photos, Thornley Kelham was finally able to establish that the Alfa Romeo was originally bodied by Stabilimenti Farina, thanks to the period carrozzeria badge at the base of the body near the rear wheel. At some point later in its life, the body was modified into a stripped-down, racing-focused body that it wears today. On March 21, 1937, the car was sold to Renato Tigillo. The car was then recorded as having been shipped to Asmara in August of that year. Since no change of ownership is to be found, it’s likely Tigillo took the car with him as he moved to Eritrea.



It is clear that the body changes took place while the 6C 1750 SS was in Eritrea, where it was adapted for racing. Images sourced of the car in Asmara reveal much of the bodywork had been removed to create a stripped-out racing car, bearing only a passing resemblance to the beautiful Farina creation it was born with. At the time, Eritrea was an Italian colony and many young Italians would take their cars to Asmara to live and race on hill climbs and street circuit races like the Coppa di Natale or the Coppa Governatore.



When this car was eventually inspected in the U.S. by Thornley Kelham, the bodywork had been fitted with an unoriginal grille and retained very little in the way of original panels. The chassis, rear axle and gearbox are, however, original to the car.

With in-house paint, engine and body shops, Thornley Kelham is widely regarded for the quality of its award-winning restorations of historically significant, often unique vehicles across a variety of marques. The team have now been tasked by the car’s new owner with recreating the car’s original 1930 appearance, which will involve several thousand hours of fabrication, engineering and assembly by its highly skilled workshop technicians.

We’ve undertaken many challenging restorations here at Thornley Kelham,

said Simon Thornley, co-founder of Thornley Kelham,

but this Alfa Romeo presents us with perhaps our greatest test to date. Over the course of its extraordinary life it has been graced with a beautiful hand-crafted body from Stabilimenti Farina, owned and piloted by one of the world’s most (in)famous dictators, and stripped out for motorsport and raced on the streets of North Africa. Our challenge now is to restore it to the condition it first left Stabilimenti Farina’s carrozzeria, based on further painstaking research and thousands of hours of expert craftsmanship. Automotive history like this has to be preserved, and we are delighted to be involved in the latest page in its amazing story.

Red Sea region has potential for significant growth

KERRY BOYD ANDERSON

https://www.arabnews.com/node/1635751

March 02, 2020

The Red Sea region offers enormous potential for trade and investment opportunities, but also presents significant risks. As geopolitical and economic competition continues to heat up in the region, it will be increasingly important for relevant actors, particularly the littoral states, to work together to address security threats.

The Red Sea has many advantages: Beautiful seascapes, unique coral reefs, and complex but notable oil and natural gas resources. Millions of people from diverse national and ethnic groups live near its shores. It has global importance thanks to its role in global shipping, with as much as 10 percent of world trade passing through its waters. The Suez Canal and Bab Al-Mandab Strait are two of the world’s most crucial potential chokepoints for shipping.

The Red Sea is often seen as a dividing line between the Middle East and Africa. However, especially in recent years, many of the region’s states have seen it as an opportunity for economic and political relationships across the sea. This has driven new economic opportunities and geopolitical competition. In particular, some Middle Eastern countries have shown a growing interest in the region, often combining military and economic interests.

As the state with the longest Red Sea coastline, Saudi Arabia has a natural interest in the region. Saudi Arabia is seeking to develop its coastline, including through Vision 2030 projects such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project and the Amaala resort. The country also has a deep interest in ensuring freedom of navigation through the Red Sea area and has military facilities along its coast. Saudi Arabia is deeply involved in its southern neighbor and fellow littoral state, Yemen. It is also working to deepen and expand economic and political relations with countries such as Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea.

Other Middle Eastern countries that do not border the Red Sea pursue interests in the region. The UAE has engaged in significant political and economic investments, including in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia and parts of Somalia. It established a military base at Eritrea’s Assab port. The UAE and Saudi Arabia pursue their own interests in the region, sometimes competing but often working together. Qatar pursues its interests in countries such as Sudan and Somalia — sometimes acting counter to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi and in alliance with Turkey. Iran has sought influence in the region, but Saudi Arabia and the UAE have successfully blocked several of its attempts.

Global powers located well beyond the region have also pursued interests there. In Djibouti in 2017, China opened its first overseas military base, expanding its global military reach. It also has sought control of the Doraleh Container Terminal in Djibouti, reflecting China’s pursuit of economic influence in Africa and its Maritime Silk Road plans. Europe has limited influence but is directly concerned with freedom of navigation. France and Italy, as well as Japan, have military installations in Djibouti. The only US military base in Africa is in Djibouti. Washington has concerns about Chinese power in the region and about freedom of navigation, but has only played a limited role in Red Sea geopolitics so far.

Multiple countries’ involvement in the region reflects its geostrategic importance. Some states, such as the Gulf states and China, also see the region’s economic potential. With improvements in security and governance, there is significant potential in terms of resources, a growing consumer base, investment, and trade. This is particularly true if the region’s ports and infrastructure are developed, which is an area of focus for China and the Gulf countries.

However, security risks have long hindered Red Sea economic development. Today, the war in Yemen and fighting in some parts of Somalia continue. Tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia regarding the Nile River pose another security risk for the region.

Meanwhile, Ethiopia and Sudan are both going through critical but fragile political transition periods. Weak governance in the region in the past, particularly in Somalia and Yemen, allowed criminal and terrorist networks and piracy to flourish. Strengthening governance and stability and addressing corruption are essential to the region’s future. The region has also experienced large-scale refugee crises and migration flows. Improved stability, governance and economic opportunity would go a long way toward addressing the drivers of such movements.

Important steps are already being taken to improve the stability and enhance the prosperity of the Red Sea region. The 2018 Jeddah Agreement that ended 20 years of conflict between Eritrea and Ethiopia was a crucial step toward stability and economic opportunities, and it has fostered improved relations between Eritrea and Djibouti too. The Jeddah Agreement’s durability faces some challenges, and sustained support is necessary for its long-term success.

Strengthening governance and stability and addressing corruption are essential to the region’s future.

Kerry Boyd Anderson

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have offered aid to assist in the political transitions in Sudan and Ethiopia. There are efforts underway to create a Red Sea Forum to facilitate dialogue and cooperation between Red Sea states and also the international community. Strengthening governance and combating corruption could lead to significant improvements. Fundamentally, political change and opportunities for prosperity need to benefit the entire populations of the Red Sea states, not just a few officials and businesspeople.

With peace, improved governance and investments in infrastructure, the Red Sea region has significant potential to be much more than a key shipping lane. It could serve as an example of how a region once known for war and piracy could become a center for economic growth and cooperation.

Working on Industrial Safety

A conference was held on industrial safety on 22nd February, 2020, at the National Confederation of Eritrean Workers (NCEW). It was organized by the Eritrean Association of Chemical Engineering in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), safety management at Bisha Mining Share Company (BMSC), safety management in Total Oil and the Eritrean Crop and Livestock Cold Store Quality Control.

The Eritrean Association of Chemical Engineering (EAChE) is a professional nonprofit organization that aims to bring together chemical engineers and chemical technologists to create a network and encourage collaboration in research projects and help in the development of the field. The idea of forming the association was originally presented by the 2012 graduates of chemical engineering the Eritrean Institute of Technology in Mai Nefhi. Currently, EAChE is believed to have made modest progress in publicizing and setting a solid foundation for the association by conducting two conferences so far, linking to industries and conducting monthly educational programs where members share their experiences in their respective field of work.

The main focus of the conference held on 22nd February was the safety measures that should and are being taken during the occurrence of chemical accidents in industries. ‘Industrial safety’ relates to the management of all operations and events within an industry in order to protect employees and assets by minimizing hazards, risks, accidents and failures.

Three types of industrial safety measures were presented at the conference, where the system automatically prevents the hazardous situation or the people involved take their own lines of caution. In addition to the measures taken by the system, there is also Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) where the company provides gloves, helmets, eye protection materials such as glasses, goggles, hearing protection, foot protection and also respiratory protection materials; such as face masks and cartridge filters. The ILO estimates that some 2.3 million women and men around the world experience work-related accidents or diseases every year; this corresponds to over 6000 deaths every single day. Worldwide, there are around 340 million occupational accidents and 160 million victims of work-related illnesses annually.

As the chairman of EAChE, Mr. Abraham Yohannes, said in his opening speech, the issue of industrial safety is not only limited to industrially developed countries but also applies to countries at their infant stage of industrialization. In fact, the issue should be addressed at early stage in order to avoid human loss and injury as well as damage to the companies and the environment.

The issue of industrial safety dates back to the 4th Century BC, when scientists of that time recognized the lead toxicity and many industrial hazards were recognized and guilds began assisting sick workers and their families. But, it was in the 20th century that the implementation of industrial hygiene, safety, occupational health, and hazard communication programs began to be taken seriously. Soon after the occupational safety and health administration and their regulations started to get recognition.

One of the worst chemical accidents in the world is believed to be the 1984 Bhopal accident, where a poisonous gas leaked from a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India. It took many lives and left many others, devastated. According to the presenters at the conference, safety is given utmost priority in organizations. As part of the industrial safety issue, the Occupational Safety and Health was discussed in the conference, referring to the legislative side of the issue. Accordingly, the Eritrean Labor Proclamation number 118/2001 addresses the issue of OSH and industrial safety, containing XIII titles and 162 articles. It is a comprehensive legal instrument that deals with contract of employees, working conditions of young employees and adults and other laws related with the handling of chemicals and pesticides.

Mr. Mengis Fitwi, a chemical engineering manager at Total, said that 85% of an organization’s loss can be controlled by its management system alone. The representative of BMSC, Mr. Yacob Keleta also outlined that maintaining a safe work place for everyone involved is the duty of the employers as well as the employees. The employer should make sure the working environment is safe, cooperate with the employees, and provide information and training to ensure the employees’ safety, make the employees aware of the possible hazard and also provide PPE. Mr. Yacob added that the employees should follow safety and health instructions, report possible hazards and use the PPE well. After all, careless employees can degrade all of the organization’s efforts and put their coworkers and themselves at risk. This is a big answer to the big question, who is in charge of safety? Everyone is, I am, you are and we all are in charge of our own safety. That way, the safety of the environment and the people as well as the organizations is safeguarded.

Mr. Thomas Habte, secretary of EAChE, said recognizing possible industrial threats and implementing proper prevention methods should be the ultimate goal of everyone involved.
