Testing Concorde

Saw a photograph of Brian Trubshaw in the cockpit of a very early Concorde and he seemed to be / was wearing a parachute.

Q's
1: Could it have been used in an emergency from the a/c? Yes height permitting etc.
The testbed concorde at Duxford reputedly has an escape hatch near the cockpit

2: Has any civilian a/c been fitted with ejection seats during developement?

Just asking.
