Collishaw, Raymond, 1893-1976 : Raymond Collishaw, air force officer, was born in Nanaimo, B.C., and educated at the Naval College and Royal Air Force Staff College. He entered the Royal Canadian Navy in 1908 and served with the fishery protection service until 1914. He was a member of the 1911 Scott Antarctic Expedition.

Collishaw entered the Royal Naval Air Service in 1915. During the First World War, he was officially credited with downing 60 enemy aircraft. In 1918, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the new Royal Air Force. Between the wars, Collishaw served with the Royal Air Force in Egypt, South Russia, and the Middle East, in addition to England.

At the beginning of the Second World War, Collishaw was the Air Officer Commanding, Egypt Group. He was promoted to Air Commodore in 1940, serving in North Africa. He was promoted to the rank of Air Vice-Marshall in 1942 and he retired the following year. Throughout his career, he received numerous awards. After his retirement from the Royal Air Force, Collishaw settled in West Vancouver with his wife, the former Juanita Eliza Tripp of New Westminster, B.C. He became actively involved in the natural resources industry and served as president of Craigment Mines Ltd. for five years. He was also president or director of several other oil and copper companies.

During his retirement years, Collishaw conducted detailed research on military aviation during World War I and corresponded with numerous airmen, both Allied and German. He was thus able to preserve a great deal of information that might otherwise have been lost.
