Ernest Brian Trubshaw, CBE, MVO (29 January 1924 – 25 March 2001) was a notable test pilot, and the first British pilot to fly Concorde, in April 1969. Contrary to popular belief, Brian Trubshaw was born in Liverpool in 1924 (Ref: England & Wales, Birth Index: 1916-2005) although he grew up in Llanelli where his parents lived at the time. He was educated at Winchester College. He signed up for the RAF in 1942 at the age of eighteen and went to the United States where he trained as a pilot flying Stearman biplanes. He joined Bomber Command in 1944, flying Stirlings and Lancasters, transferring a year later to Transport Command.
