Battle of Boldon Hill The Battle of Boldon Hill was a skirmish fought during the English Civil War in March 1644 , between a Royalist army attempting to bring the army of the Scottish Covenanters to battle . The Scots , having unsuccessfully attacked Newcastle upon Tyne , crossed the River Tyne higher upstream and attempted an attack against the defences on the southern end of the bridge over the river , which led directly into the city . With this attack , the Scottish commander Alexander Leslie , 1st Earl of Leven entered Sunderland several miles to the south , as the town had declared for Parliament . The Marquess of Newcastle - upon - Tyne led his army out of Newcastle in pursuit of the marauding Scots . The two sides met south of Sunderland at Penshaw Hill , but bad weather made a battle impossible . The Marquess retreated into the Royalist stronghold of Durham and the Scots returned to Sunderland . In the following days , Leven made raids on Chester - le - Street , a vital crossing point of the River Wear and crucial to the Marquess of Newcastle upon Tyne ' s communications with the rest of England , and also on the Royalist garrison at South Shields . Whilst initial attempts at a raid failed , the second raids of 20 March were successful for Leven . In response to this , the Marquess led his army out of Durham towards Sunderland . On the morning of 25 March , the Scots occupied Cleadon Hills and the Royalists took Boldon Hill . The present day village of East Boldon lies between these two hills . Neither side could see an advantage and were hesitant to engage with one another . However , the two sides exchanged cannon fire and men lay dead in the valley . Shortly after this skirmish , news reached the Marquis of a major defeat for the Royalists at Selby , directly threatening York and his communications with the King . Later that year , the Royalist Army was soundly beaten at the Battle of Marston Moor near York , effectively ending Royalist control of northern England .
SNCASO Trident The SNCASO SO . 9000 Trident was a mixed power French prototype interceptor aircraft of the 1950s . Capable of supersonic flight the project was cancelled in July 1957 after only 12 examples had been built . Design and development . The French Air Staff tasked SNCASO to develop a point defence interceptor , studies began in October 1948 . The aircraft that emerged was a shoulder wing monoplane , to be primarily powered by a SEPR rocket engine and augmented with wing - tip mounted turbojets . First flown on 2 March 1953 by test pilot Jacques Guignard the aircraft used the entire length of the runway to get airborne powered only by its turbojets . From March 1955 the Trident I flew with new turbojets , the more powerful Dassault - built MD 30 Viper ASV . 5 , which produced 7 . 34 kN ( 1 , 654 lbf ) thrust each .

Abwehrflammenwerfer 42 The Abwehrflammenwerfer 42 was a German static defensive flamethrower , flame fougasse or flame mine used during the Second World War . The design was copied from Russian FOG - 1 mines that were encountered in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa . These were usually buried at intervals of covering road blocks , landing beaches , harbour walls and other obstacles . They were normally mixed in with other mines or emplaced behind barbed wire and could be command detonated or triggered by tripwire s or other devices . The mine consisted of a large fuel cylinder high and with a capacity of containing a black viscid liquid ; a mix of light , medium , and heavy oils . A second , smaller cylinder , in diameter and high , was mounted on top of the fuel cylinder ; it contained the propellant powder , which was normally either black powder or a mixture of nitrocellulose and diethylene glycol dinitrate . A flame tube was fixed centrally on top of the fuel cylinder , it was a diameter pipe that rose from the centre of the fuel cylinder and curved to extend horizontally approximately . When the mine was buried , only the flame tube was normally above ground . When the mine was triggered , a squib charge ignited the propellant , creating a burst of hot gas which forced the fuel from the main cylinder and out of the flame tube . A second squib ignited the fuel as it passed out of the end of the tube . The projected stream of burning fuel was wide and high with a range of about , and lasted about 1 . 5 seconds .
Mohawk Valley raid The Mohawk Valley raid ( February 1692 ) was conducted against three Mohawk villages located in the Mohawk River valley by French and Indian warriors under the overall command of Nicolas d ' Ailleboust de Manthet . The action , part of a long - running French - Iroquois conflict and King William ' s War , which pitted the French against the Iroquois - allied English , resulted in the destruction of three villages , including critical stores of food . Many Mohawk were either killed or captured , with the latter intended to populate Christian Indian villages near Montreal . The raiders , burdened with their prisoners , were followed by a rapidly deployed English - Iroquois force led by Major Pieter Schuyler . The two forces engaged in skirmishing a few days after the raid . Because of the pursuit , the raiders were forced to release most of their prisoners , and were subjected to starvation due to the spoilage of some of their supply caches before they returned to Montreal . The Mohawk were seriously weakened as a military force within the Iroquois league , and the raid ' s effects contributed to the 1701 peace negotiated between the Iroquois , French , and many other tribes .
