A FOUNDING FATHER OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT.

Sir George Lowthian Trevelyan 4th Baronet ( 1906 – 1996 ) was a British educational pioneer and a founding father of the New Age movement. After listening to a lecture by Dr Walter Stein, a student of Rudolf Steiner in 1942, he turned from being agnostic to new age spiritual thinker, and even studied anthroposophy in the coming years. He founded the Wrekin Trust.

The Wrekin Trust is a charity founded by Sir George Trevelyan in 1971, under the active encouragement of Air Marshal Victor Goddard. Its stated purpose is non-sectarian spiritual education. It aims to create "safe meeting spaces for connections, dialogue, learning and social action." The Wrekin Trust

The Wrekin Symbol is based on the Celtic cross of resurrection. It is three dimensional, encircled by three protective spheres of light indicating global proportions and hinting at a shaft of spiritual light striking down from the zenith to earth.

Air Marshal Sir Robert Victor Goddard KCB, CBE usually Victor Goddard, ( 1897 – 1987) was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force during World War II. He is best known as a protagonist in the 1946 aviation incident immortalized in the 1955 film The Night My Number Came Up.

Goddard retired in 1951, and became principal of the College of Aeronautics, where he remained until 1954. He was also a governor of St George's School Harpenden and of Bryanston School and was president of the Airship Association from 1975 to 1984. He encouraged Sir George Trevelyan to set up the Wrekin Trust in 1971, and it occupied much of his time in retirement. Through it he became convinced of the reality of the world of the spirit. He spent many years investigating, and lecturing on, flying saucers.

The film The Night My Number Came Up (1955) was based on a strange incident in Goddard's life. In January 1946, he arrived at a party in Shanghai to overhear an officer talking of a dream in which Air Marshal Goddard was killed in a plane crash. The aircraft in the officer's dream iced over and crashed on a pebbled beach near mountains with two men and a woman on board. Goddard himself was due to fly to Tokyo that night on a Dakota and by the end of the evening he was persuaded to take two men and a woman with him. The plane iced over and was forced to make a crash landing on the Japanese island of Sado; the crash scene, a pebbled beach near mountains, resembled that described in the precognitory dream. Unlike the dream, however, because of Goddard's precautions no one was injured. Michael Redgrave who played the Air Marshal, was depicted in the film as becoming excited as the plane made its crash landing; this seriously annoyed Goddard, who had been proud of what he had seen as his unemotional behaviour.

Other reports of a mysterious 1935 flight seem to be unfounded and heresy.
