THE Sikorsky S-38 'flying yacht' known as 'Osa's Ark' has set off from North America and is en route to the UK and Europe.

You may remember the aircraft from the film 'The Aviator' about the life of Howard Hughes when Hughes (played by Leo DiCaprio) flew an S-38 - that was Tom Schrade flying his aircraft.
The Osa's Ark world flight aims to raise funds to provide relief for disadvantaged children around the world.
