Opened in 1905, Longbridge was once the largest manufacturing plant in the world. During the 20th century the site employed many thousands of people, central to the economy of the local area. Longbridge has produced a wide variety of products, although consistently over time the product has been cars, perhaps most notably the Austin Mini. During the Second World War the main plant produced munitions and tank parts, while the nearby East Works of Austin Aero Ltd at Cofton Hackett produced several types of aeroplane such as the Short Stirling and the Hawker Hurricane.
The AeroGarden is a countertop hydroponics set-up marketed for growing anything from salad greens to cooking herbs, vegetables or flowers. Some AeroGardens come with a tray specifically intended for starting seedlings in the AeroGarden for later transport outside. You might also simply want to transplant the plants out of your AeroGarden so that you can try something else in the hydroponics setup.
Turn off and unplug your AeroGarden, then lift the grow tray out of the AeroGarden's water reservoir. Carefully work the plant's roots free of the in-reservoir supports if they have gotten tangled around it. If you need to, you can carefully clip the roots free; as long as most of the root system is intact, the plant should be fine.
August 11, 1944. Per JV this is the BMW AeroEngine Plant in Allach which is a suburb of NW Munich. The factory is still in use and is owned by the Man Company. Two of the buildings have unique camouflage. I am not an expert in such matters but would suspect that the sub camp or out camp Allach must be in this photo. It was part of Dachau. Be sure to view in original high resolution size. Photo taken by Lt. John S Blyth pilot from 14th Squadron of the 7th Photo Group USAAF based at Mount Farm, UK. He was flying Spitfire Mk XI PL866 and altitude was approximately 5 miles.
