1962 - Britains Supersonic Airliner Pilot: Trubshaw At Work And Play: As the days pass and take-off time for Britains first flight of Concorde approaches, the man who will be at the controls is perhaps the coolest of the hundreds of technicians and others concerned with the project. Weekends are frequently spent at a little farm near Wisley in Surrey - within sound of aircraft all day and conveniently near for him to arrive and leave hurriedly by air. There, ex-Winchester College boy, ex-R.A.F.pilot, Brian Trubby Trubshaw relaxes amidst the domestic animals and a hard of donkeys. He cleans his somewhat staid car, reclines in a deck chair, goes for walks, and seldom a minute presses without his keen eyes take stock of the clouds above, as if unconsciously taking stock of weather conditions. Brian Trubshaw, at Filton - working on his 24. preparations to fly the Concorde. (Credit Image: (c) Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com/Mary Evans)
