An advertisement for an air traffic controller is being offered in Braille – although 20/20 vision is a requirement for the job.
Bosses of St Mary's airport on the Isles of Scilly say they are simply adhering to equal opportunity guidelines.
The advert for the post, which carries a salary of between £34,000 and £36,000, states that as well as having excellent vision, the applicant needs to be highly qualified to fulfil the demanding role of guiding aircraft safely into the hilltop airport, which is often fogbound.
