	Tours of Scotland, my native homeland.

	HISTORY
		Initially Gubbins requested and was given the support of some dozen officers, hand-picked from those known personally to him and on whom he could rely to 'get on with the job'.
		Gubbins had arranged for this to be done by plain clothes or Special Branch police officers who made discreet enquiries from employers or neighbours without knowing or stating the purpose of the enquiry.
		Gubbins anticipated that any successful invasion would be seaborne and he set up his resistance units within the coastal belt, extending from South Wales, around the Southern Counties, up the East Coast, and as far north as John O’ Groats, with an obvious preponderance of units in Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent.

	Colin Gubbins
		After the victory of the Red Army in the Civil War Gubbins returned to England.
		The pamphlets for which Gubbins was largely responsible offended against many of the principles of chivalry in warfare as well as the tradition of dogged determination embodied in the concept of the thin red line.
		Guerrillas were instructed not to undertake an operation unless certain of success, to ensure that a good line of retreat was always available, and never to engage in a pitched battle unless in overwhelming strength.

		One of Britain's best-kept secrets of World War II was the Home Guard Auxiliary Units, which used the status of the Home Guard as a cover for their real activities.

	Making the Code - New York Times
		Sir Colin Gubbins, the operational head of S.O.E. when the debacle was exposed, never once met with Churchill alone.
		What neither Marks nor Gubbins could know, and has only recently emerged with the release of S.O.E. documents in the British Public Record Office, was that by 1943 Churchill had Morton's number too, and knew when to disregard his advice.
		He did so, decisively, even in the face of the Dutch catastrophe, refusing to join the bureaucratic lynch mob once he was sure that mistakes had been rectified.

	Business Report - Share options for executives could become conditional
		Actually, the answer of Colin Gubbins, a director of McCloskey, the coal consultancy group, was "yes, probably".
		Gubbins reckoned that world coal demand would grow 11 percent from 591 million tons in 2008 to 679 million tons in 2020, with the greatest growth coming from nations in the Pacific.
		In fact, he was so conservative that his projection for South African supply in 2020 was just 84 million tons, whereas the coal terminal expansion at Richards Bay envisages a rise in exports to 92 million tons a year by 2008.

		One of the authors of these pamphlets was Lieutenant-Colonel Colin Gubbins, an officer who had fought against the IRA during the Troubles.
		The rapid German victories in the first months of the war forced Britain to put these tactics into practice, as the Labour Minister of Economic Warfare, Hugh Dalton, proposed creating a new democratic international force in Europe whose methods would include "terrorist acts against traitors and German leaders".
		The result was the creation of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), led by Gubbins and J F C Holland, another veteran of the Irish Troubles.

	tata.com : ‘India’s coal imports to grow strongly’
		This added backing to forecasts at the AustralianCoal.04 conference that Indian demand for imported coal was about to rise rapidly, buoying a coal boom fired by increasingly strong Chinese steel production.
		“India is potentially a bigger market than China,” said Colin Gubbins of the McCloskey group of coal industry consultants.
		JK Niyogi, general manager of Tata International Ltd, told the conference on Friday the group, which mines coal in India but also imports from Australia, would increase its imports of coking coal to seven million tonne over the next few years, from present levels of about 2.5 million tonne.

		But the big boom is in coking coal, after massive steel industry expansion in China turned its self-sufficiency in coal into a permanent import need.
		The only limit on coking coal price increases would be the ability of steel profits to pay, as steelmakers scrambled for supplies, said Colin Gubbins of the McCloskey Group.
		Gubbins forecast the world hard coking coal trade would grow to 148 million tonnes by 2009 from 116 million tonnes last year, with most of the extra to come from Australia.

		After a visit to Brickendonbury from Colin Gubbins and a posse of fresh-faced officers, who barked at each other and at us, the Commander fell into a deep depression.
		It was no surprise when he summoned Guy and myself one morning and told us that he had spent the previous evening composing his letter of resignation.

		They dealt mainly with the always delicate problem of relations with the governments in exile in London.

		Conceived originally to foster European Unity, the European Movement was gradually being conscripted to help build a ‘bulwark against communism’--and this bulwark conduced to the atmosphere in which clandestine organizations flourished.
		Now partially financed by the CIA, Joseph Retinger and other members of the European Movement forged ties with Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, with the Italian Prime Minister and with Sir Colin Gubbins, former director of Britains SOE.
		Together with the then director of the CIA, General Walter Bedell Smith, this group proceeded to create a think tank which met for the first time in May 1954 at the Hotel de Bilderberg, in the Dutch town of Oosterbeek.
