Still hoping to see that Sikorsky S-38 'Osa'a Ark'

Erm, has anyone seen or heard of it putting down on water? After all, that would seem to have been the primary purpose of the original series!

Was gone from Jersey by late morning, so should be well and truly landed at Goodwood.

Seems to have departed Jersey now. any sightings?

S-38 may stay in Jersey until Thursday and then make its way to the UK. A rumour I have heard today is that after visiting an airfield somewhere near Chichester towards the end of this week Tom Schrade had hinted at visiting somewhere called Duxfurrrd. So keep your eyes and ears pealed.

However as Tom’s intention is to circumnavigate the world in his lovely aircraft, things may change and he may head south to warmer climes.

Its due at the Goodwood Revival later this week.

It is a strange contraption, that is for sure. But what an aircraft!!

It looks strangely beautiful in flight 😀

I got up close and personal with it this afternoon.

I have to admit it’s a very interesting design but when parked along side CFC’s Dragon Rapide/ Dominie it’s not particularly pretty, it appears to be left over girders bolted together and three motorcycle side cars hung underneath.:)

DaveT. I have read somewhere within the multitude of pages read about this trip, that they are going to, or would like to, land the thing on the Thames ????

To keep you hoping 🙂 another of the 92 photos I managed to collect !!

I hear through the grapevine the S-38 will be back here in 10 days or so and then it’s off to the Riviera and Italy.

have seen this thread Dave, http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=103311
