Referred to as Donald Hatheway on birth certficate but Donald Orton in subsequent records.
Royal Military College of Canada, 1964 Yearbook: "Donald Orton Turnbull "Buggy,' Turnbull was one of the unfortunate victims, 118 in number, of the T.C.A. air crash at Ste. Therese de Blainville, Quebec, on Friday, 29 November, 1963. The following editorial from the Telegraph-Journal of Saint John, N.B., of 2 December, well expressed the regret of his many friends in his untimely death: Mr. Donald O. Turnbull, in his prominent career, ably maintained the reputation of his family in the engineering sphere. His father, the late Dr. W. Rupert Turnbull, had been a pioneer in world aviation technology, had invented the variable pitch propeller and had built Canada's first experimental wind tunnel at his home in Rothesay. Mr. Donald O. Turnbull, a widely known consulting engineer specializing in marine and industrial construction, played a major role in eastern Canadian port modernization and other developments, including the designing of the vast Camp Gagetown project. The national esteem in which he was held in his field was reflected in the fact that he had served as president of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers. His untimely death in the air disaster in Quebec has shocked his associates and numerous other friends across the country. They will remember Don Turnbull not only as an engineer but as a warm human personality -- a man of cheerful and philosophical nature, without affectation, who was always helpful to the younger members of his profession, who took a lively interest in everything about him and had an enthusiastic zest for sailing and other favourite recreations. A severe illness of a few years ago did not impair his adventurous spirit. 'He will be great missed, and sincere sympathy will be extended to his wife and family in the bereavement that has come upon them so unexpectedly?'"
