    Possibly inspired by Mike Newman, who last week set
    a world blind driving speed record     (144 mph), equally
    blind Miles Hilton-Barbe is preparing to become the first sightless person to
    fly unassisted across the English Channel in a microlight plane.

    The 54-year-old, who has been blind for 20 years, said: "If I can
    show that flying a microlight is possible for a blind man, then maybe I
    can inspire someone to take that first step into
    the unknown to achieve their dreams."
