Ayr Castle Ayr Castle was a castle situated near the River Ayr at Ayr , South Ayrshire , Scotland . Once considered a royal castle nothing remains of the castle above ground . History . In 1197 , the castle was built by King William the Lion of Scotland , who later in 1205 created a burgh at Ayr . The castle was captured by the Norwegian King Håkon Håkonsson and his supporters in 1263 . William Wallace attacked the castle and slaughtered the English garrison in retribution of the killing of the Ayrshire Barons in 1297 in the Barns of Ayr . Robert de Brus burned the castle in August 1298 which had been captured by the English and under the command of Henry de Percy , 1st Baron Percy . The castle in 1542 was garrisoned by French troops and appears to have been demolished before the Cromwellian occupation between 1650 – 1651 .
472d Bombardment Group The 472d Bombardment Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit . It was last assigned to the Second Air Force , being stationed at Clovis Army Airfield , New Mexico . It was inactivated on 1 April 1944 . The group served as the initial Operational Training Unit ( OTU ) for prototype B - 29 Superfortress aircraft as part of the 58th Bombardment Wing . After the wing deployed to India , it was involved in training B - 29 crews in New Mexico and took part in early testing of the B - 29 to carry the Atomic Bomb . History . On 1 June 1943 , the first Superfortress unit — the 58th Bombardment Wing ( Very Heavy ) had been activated at Dobbins AFB , Marietta , Georgia near Bell ' s Superfortress plant . On 15 September 1943 , the headquarters of the 58th BW was moved to Smokey Hill AAF Kansas , with some of its groups near the Wichita factory . The 472nd Bombardment Group was constituted on 19 May 1943 at Smokey Hill AAF to be the initial group to receive the prototype YB - 29 and first production B - 29 Superfortresses . There were five groups in the 58th Bomb Wing , but the 472d was destined to remain at Smoky Hill Field as an operational training unit , and the others were to be deployed to India . President Roosevelt wanted the B - 29 bombing raids against Japan to start by January 1944 . However , delays in the B - 29 program forced General Arnold to admit to the President that the bombing campaign against Japan could not begin until May 1944 at the earliest . The crews of the B - 29 needed a degree of specialist training that was not required for crews of other , less complex aircraft . It usually took 27 weeks to train a pilot , 15 to train a navigator , and 12 to train a gunner . The complexity of the B - 29 was such that a lengthy process of crew integration had to take place before combat deployment could begin . By the end of December 1943 , only 73 pilots had qualified for the B - 29 and very few crews had been brought together as a complete team . After the initial groups of the 58th Bomb Wing completed conversion training on the B - 29 , the 472d was moved to Clovis AAF , New Mexico in December 1943 to begin training follow - on B - 29 crews . However the group also was involved in secret testing of the B - 29 for suitability in carrying Atomic Bomb s , which were being developed at Los Alamos , New Mexico . In September 1943 , the B - 29 was selected as the carrier for the Atomic Bomb . At first , the team responsible for the adaptation of the B - 29 to the atomic bomb would only be provided with rough dimensions of the bomb , since even the scientists were not yet sure what it would look like . The technicians fitted a new H - frame hoist , carrier assembly and release unit to the B - 29 . The first drop tests using dummy bombs were carried out at Muroc AAF , California on 28 February 1944 . These lead to the fitting of an entirely new suspension mechanism to the B - 29 . With these initial tests completed , and the B - 29 crew training program well underway , the group was inactivated on 1 April 1944 .

Army General Staff Plot The Army General Staff Plot was a failed 1948 attempt to overthrow the Thai government of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram . The plotters were members of the Army General Staff , among whom were Lieutenant - General Chit Mansin Sinatyotharak , Pridi ' s former supreme commander , and Major - General Net Khemayothin , a close associate of Phibun during the war and later a prominent Seri Thai member . They objected to the army ' s increasingly corrupt and inefficient leadership , and hoped to reorganise and professionalise the military . Their plan called for the arrest of Phibun , top government officials , and leading army officers during a birthday party for Sarit Thanarat scheduled on October 1 , 1948 . Although the plotters enjoyed widespread support within the General Staff , the Coup Group which had re - installed Phibun received advance notice of their plans . On September 21 General Phin Chunhawan recommended that the Ministry of Defence and other ministries carry out a purge of government officials . His suggestion was approved by the cabinet , and on October 1 the arrests of the coup plotters began .

" U - 585 " s first patrol was preceded by a trip to Trondheim then Neidenfjord [ west northwest of Murmansk ] , both in Norway over Christmas and New Years Eve 1941 - 42 . The patrol itself started in Neidenfjord on 15 January 1942 and finished in Kirkenes on the 21st . 2nd patrol . Her second foray was notable for the loss overboard of " Fahnrich zur See " [ midshipman ] Eberhard Vollmer on 5 February 1942 in the southern Barents Sea . 3rd patrol . The boat was attacked with depth charge s by three enemy ships northeast of Kirkenes on 24 March 1942 . The damage to the forward torpedo tubes was serious enough to require the submarine to return to her base . 4th patrol and loss . While in Varanfjord , the Soviet submarine " M - 171 " fired both of her torpedoes at an unknown , but outbound U - boat . This can only have been " U - 585 " , although she did not report any attack . She was sunk on 30 March 1942 by a German mine that had drifted from the ' Bantos - A ' barrage .

This attack was against " U - 435 " and was also inconclusive .
Scram cannon The scram cannon is a hypothetical kinetic energy weapon based on ram accelerator technology . The scram cannon uses a projectile that uses supersonic combustion ramjet technology to increase the Muzzle velocity to levels that are impossible with normal gunpowder based guns ; firearms are limited by the speed of sound in the propellant gases , which limits the velocities to about Mach 5 ( see internal ballistics ) . Description . A scram cannon uses a sealed barrel filled with a fuel / oxidizer mixture that undergoes supersonic combustion as the projectile passes by . The energy liberated by this combustion acts to propel the projectile through reaction , like a jet or rocket engine , rather than by pressure as in a gun . This allows the scram cannon to launch sizeable projectiles at velocities previously only attainable with railgun s , light gas gun s and rocket s , but with significantly simpler techniques . Scram cannons often show up in science fiction and role - playing game discussion boards . Development . The concept of a " supersonic combustion ram cannon " was patented in 1988 , and versions were built as far back as 1994 to research scramjet technology .

French attack on the Vaudois ( 1686 ) The French attack against the Vaudois was a systematic military campaign in 1686 ordered by Louis XIV against a small Protestant community across the French border in Piedmont . As a result of the campaign , the Vaudois were expelled from their homes , but they returned during the War of the Grand Alliance under an agreement reached with Victor Amadeus , the Duke of Savoy . In 1685 , Louis XIV issued the Edict of Fontainebleau , which undid the Edict of Nantes in 1598 by ordering the destruction of Protestant churches and the closing of Protestant schools . Louis wanted to bar the flight of Protestants to Southern France and began applying pressure on the Vaudois , who inhabited certain Alpine valleys southwest of Turin , because they were a weak and vulnerable group . The French fortress of Pinerolo was near Vaudois lands and could be used as a springboard for any possible military action . Shortly after abrogating the Edict of Nantes , Louis informed his ambassador , the Marquis d ' Arcy , to pressure the Duke to deny rights to his Protestant subjects as Louis had done . The Duke politely refused at first , but strong insistence from the French eventually led Amadeus to comply with their requests . On February 16 , 1686 , d ' Arcy reported to Louis that Amadeus had officially requested French military assistance . Louis responded with an offer of five infantry regiments and ten cavalry squadrons to be led by Marshal Catinat , the governor of Casale . Duke Amadeus and Swiss envoys attempted to convince the Vaudois to leave peacefully , but the latter resolved to stay and fight . Large - scale military operations began on April 21 . French and Piedmontese troops , a total of about 7 , 000 to 8 , 000 , enjoyed success in the early fighting . An attempt by 500 " Barbets " , the French name for the Vaudois , to catch and destroy an isolated detachment guarding the French lines of communication failed badly , with the Barbets suffering severe casualties . The Barbets turned to guerrilla warfare in early May , a reflection that direct clashes with the French and the Piedmontese did not produce any results . By this point , 6 , 000 Vaudois men , women , and children had been imprisoned . Eventually , however , French and Piedmontese forces eliminated all opposition . Catinat wrote the following on May 9 : Fighting ended in June and Catinat returned to Casale . The surviving Vaudois would continue to suffer . The Piedmontese placed them into prison camps where many died of malnutrition and disease . There may have been anywhere from 10 , 000 to 12 , 000 Vaudois in these camps . Of the 900 held at Verrue , only 150 were left by late October . In December 1686 , Duke Amadeus reached an agreement with Swiss officials that would allow the remaining 4 , 000 to 5 , 000 Vaudois to resettle in Protestant Germany . During the War of the Grand Alliance from 1689 to 1697 , a band of Vaudois fought their way from Geneva back to their homeland . Duke Amadeus signed a peace treaty with them and allowed them to live in his lands free of persecution .
