1968 - Britains Supersonic Airliner Pilot: Trubsna- At Work And Play: As the days pass and take-off time for Britains fist flight of Concorde approaches, the men 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 a little farm near -isley in Surey - 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, BrianTrubby Trubshaw relaxes amidst the de--astic animals and a hard of donkey-. He cleans his somewhat staid car, reclines in a deck chair, goes for walks, and seldom a minute passes without his keen eyes take stock of the clouds above, as if unconsciously taking stock of weather conditions.
