Manchester Airport

In Touch

Available for over a year

If you're preparing for a holiday you may be about to negotiate an airport - and for blind and visually impaired people that can mean relying on assistance to leave the plane. The Civil Aviation Authority has published its latest review of airports and their treatment of disability. We talk about Manchester Airport's second poor rating, and the failure of Gatwick, Stansted and Birmingham to properly collect data. And naturally we talk a lot about a lack of vision - but can you have too much? We talk to Cressida Ryan about her diagnosis of Cerebral Polyopia - and how it affects her work as a reader of ancient Greek. Presented by Peter White Produced by Kevin Core.
