Marquette: Massey Ferguson's other French factory
In the recent review of the Colm Clifford's vintage tractor auction in Co. Kerry, there appeared a Massey Ferguson 821 tractor powered by a Hanomag two cylinder diesel. This is an uncommon tractor here in Ireland, with no clear recollection of them being imported in any great numbers if they were imported officially at all. Yet there was another French-built tractor, the MF 25, which was sent to Ireland by the company. The MF 25 was a purely French design to be built at Beauvais This was the tractor for which the factory at Beauvais had been built to manufacture, but there were at the time three further factories in Europe, if Scotland is included, producing Massey Ferguson machinery. One was at Eschwege in Germany, another at Kilmarnock in Scotland while the third was at Marquette-lez-Lille in northern France. The production site of each model was denoted by the first figure in the model number. Tractors or combines built in Germany had the number six as a prefix, those produced at Kilmarnock number seven, while the factory at Marquette used eight as the first numeral. The MF 821 was powered by either a diesel from Hanomag or Peugeot, which also had a factory in Lille, making diesel engines Thus it was that the MF 21 was known as the MF 821 if built at Marquette, although it appears that tractors made in Beauvais had no such prefix. The Marquette factory had been opened in 1926 by Massey Harris as a French subsidiary to the Canadian company, branding the machines as Massey Ferguson from the mid-1950s onwards. The MF 30 combine was made at Marquette but was known as the MF 630 if made in Germany, as in this example It was primarily orientated towards combine production, but also became synonymous with the Massey Harris Pony, of which it built 92,000 units. At its heyday in the mid-1950s, the Marquette factory is said to have employed over 3,000 people, with a foundry and assembly lines producing not just complete machines but also cabs and parts for other factories. It was a thriving factory which would have been a major employer in the area. However, by certain accounts, it was far from a happy ship. The factory paid by piece work and, for a period, would only pay for a day's work if a certain amount of items had been completed. Working conditions were also said to be poor and, with this sort of management regime in place, the unions grew in size and strength, occupying the factory for several weeks during the French general strike of 1968. The twin cylinder Hanomag diesel in this Massey Ferguson 821 nestles within a frame and is not a stressed member, allowing other engines to be fitted Another problem that beset the factory - and all other tractor factories of the time - was over-capacity as the great rush to replace the horse drew to a close and it became a matter of fleet renewal rather than direct replacement. This inevitably led to a reduction of the work force as, bit by bit, Massey Ferguson scaled down its production throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Eschwege in Germany was the first to close in 1971, followed by Kilmarnock in 1980, and Marquette finally succumbed in 1984, but not after a protracted battle by the unions to keep it open. One tactic favoured by the French unions was 'sequestration' of the factory management, locking them into the offices for days at a time. The visitor centre at Beauvais now describes itself as the 'Home of Massey Ferguson' Whether this played on the minds of the Massey Ferguson board when it later came to deciding between Beauvais or Banner Lane depends on which account one chooses to believe, but it was the Coventry plant that closed in 2002.

'We are being cooked alive' - Wildfires rage across Europe as warnings issued
Firefighters battling wildfires in Greece have spoken of their fears for the area due to intense drought and strong winds fanning the fires around popular holiday destinations. Emergency services are evacuating tourists and locals from areas being ravaged by the massive blazes around Zante, Kefalonia, and Chios. The Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection issued more than a dozen evacuation orders for parts of the country, with warnings of more to come because of the high risk on the mainland and the Ionian Islands. Flames and smoke rise from burning trees while firefighters continue their efforts to extinguish the fire that broke out in the forest area near the Komotini, Greece. Pic: Ayhan Mehmet/Anadolu via Getty Images The authorities in Greece have appealed for EU Firefighting aircraft to help tackle the infernos in an attempt to stop the spread of the flames, with the mayor of Achaia admitting that the fires in that region are 'out of control'. Mayor Grigoris Alexopoulos said some areas of the coast have been 'irreparably damaged', while tourists who had been trapped by the flames on a beach in Chios have been safely evacuated from the area. Greece is not the only country to be under threat of wildfires due to the intense heatwave engulfing Europe at the moment, with red alerts issued in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy, as temperatures continue to rise across the continent. Residents look at flames as a wildfire rages near Palaia Fokaia, some 45 Km south of Athens. Pic: Aris Messinis/AFP via Getty Images Scientists believe that global warming is giving the Mediterranean region much hotter, drier summers, with the number of wildfires growing year on year. The Mayor of Vila Real in Portugal said 'We are being cooked alive – this cannot continue,' as a large wildfire continues to rage on the edges of the city. On the outskirts of the Spanish capital Madrid, a man who had been working at a horse stable died in a fire that reached some houses and farms, but was later brought under control. CÁCERES, SPAIN – AUGUST 04: An INFOEX forest firefighter extinguishes a blaze during a fire in Cerro de los Pinos on August 04, 2025 in Cáceres, Spain. Firefighters from Cáceres and INFOEX forest firefighters are battling fires, as high temperatures continue to put the Extremadura region at extreme risk of further wildfires. (Photo by Carlos) Firefighting resources are said to be stretched to breaking point in many affected areas, as they attempt to battle multiple blazes caused by weeks of intense heatwaves and soaring temperatures. Aircraft used for fighting wildfires are being flown between blazes on the Greek mainland and the island of Zakynthos, while the city of Athens has sent some of its firefighting crews to neighbouring Albania, joining an international effort to combat dozens of wildfires there.

‘Sporting merit rendered meaningless' – Crystal Palace hit out at Europa League demotion
The FA Cup winners were demoted to the Conference League by European football's governing body UEFA on July 11 after it determined that, as of March 1, American businessman John Textor had control or influence at both Palace and French club Lyon. Palace appealed, but on Monday the CAS announced the London club had lost their appeal, with Nottingham Forest expected to take the place in UEFA's second-tier competition.

'When we won the FA Cup against Manchester City on that momentous day in May, our manager and players earned the right to play Europa League football. 'We have been denied that opportunity. 'It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power. 'This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way.'
