Blind pilot lands in record books
« on: April 30, 2007, 10:48:25 AM »
A Derbyshire pilot has become the first blind aviator to make the 13,500-mile trip from London to Sydney in a microlight.
Miles Hilton-Barber, of Duffield, who uses a specially adapted craft, ended the last stage of his trip with sighted co-pilot Richard Meredith-Hardy.

He is raising money to help cure preventable blindness around the world.
