The company that operates flights from Land's End to the Isles of Scilly has had to adapt a new plane it is adding to its fleet.
Skybus acquired the De Havilland plane in Canada, but with a normal range of 650 miles (1,046km), a giant fuel tank has had to be added.
The 4,500-mile (7,242km) journey will take 26 flying hours, with fuelling stops in Greenland and Iceland.
