Osa's Ark

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.

Track progress of the astonishing twin-engine, biplane amphibian by clicking here and read about the extraordinary world flight planned by the pilots, Tom Schrade and Bruno Gantenbrink by clicking here. At the time of writing, the aircraft was on the south-west coast of Greenland.

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.
