Jim Spilsbury
was born in Findern, Derbyshire, England in 1905. His parents immigrated to Savary Island prior to World War I, and early on, Jim realized the need to connect people isolated by water on BC’s west coast. His careers as a radio and then airline entrepreneur are recounted in Spilsbury’s Coast, The Accidental Airline and Spilsbury’s Album written after retirement in 1981 while living in the Copper Cliff area of West Vancouver.
