Blind pilot aims at world record
« on: March 05, 2007, 12:59:37 PM »
A blind aviator is aiming to fly halfway around the world to raise £1m to help prevent blindness.
Miles Hilton-Barber, 58, from Derbyshire is hoping to become the first blind aviator in history to fly from the UK to Sydney.

His departure on Monday was delayed by bad weather - and he is now unlikely to leave for at least several days.

He will be accompanied by his sighted co-pilot Storm Smith in a specially adapted microlight.
