Miles Hilton-Barber left London on March 7 and flew more than 21,000-kilometres (13,500-miles) to raise funds to fight blindness in developing countries.

"It's the fulfilment of an amazing dream," the 58-year-old adventurer said after touching down at Sydney's Bankstown airport. "I've been wanting to do this flight for about four years."

Hilton-Barber flies with a sighted co-pilot but relies on speech output from his navigation instruments to steer his course, directing the plane from a wireless keyboard.

"I've wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid. Now I'm totally blind and I've had the privilege of flying more than halfway around the world. The big deal is not me doing this, it's raising funds," he said.

"I'll never see again in this lifetime, but if they can see through this flight it's been more than worthwhile," the adventurer, whose feat makes him the first blind pilot to fly half-way across the world, added.
