A family of five is spending more than a year flying around the world in their own single-engine plane. Ian and Michelle Porter and their three kids are around four months into their holiday, having set off on their 14-month trip in June, and have already visited locations including the Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Argentina.
The Porters, from Vancouver in Canada, believe they are the first family to attempt such a trip. Real estate developer Ian, 59, said: "More people climb Mount Everest in a single year now than people who have ever flown a single engine plane around the world - we don't think a single family has ever done it before."
Ian is the chief pilot for the trip, with daughters Samantha, 21, and Sydney, 18, acting as co-pilots. Michelle, 58, is in charge of flight planning and navigation, while Christopher, 15, controls drone operations.
