    Tips

    June 9, 2025

    Herbert "Bertie" Hollick-Kenyon (1897-1975) piloted flights over the Antarctic that enabled the first mapping of the then uncharted territory. He was born in England and, after serving in WWI, joined the Royal Flying Corps and earned his pilot's licence. Hollick-Kenyon flew airmail across the Prairies and piloted numerous search and rescue flights, including a lengthy search in the western Arctic for a lost mining exploration party. As a tribute to his northern explorations, a major land area on the Antarctic continent was named for him. In 1942 Hollick-Kenyon joined Canadian Pacific Airlines, retiring in 1962. He was named to Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame in 1973. Neighbourhoods in Pilot Sound are named after famous aviators.
