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 was delayed yesterday 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 using speech-output technology .
He will fly in stages along the 13,500-mile route across Europe, the Middle East, India and Indonesia.
