He couldn't afford the airfare but was desperate to get home, enough to spend 96 hours crammed in a wooden box where he couldn't stretch his legs or turn around.

In 1965 Brian Robson was “flown around” from Australia not to his home in Wales, but to Los Angeles.

Now, aged 76, he has written a book about his big adventure - The Crate Escape and he’s looking for the two Irish men who nailed it shut.

Did you happen to help a homesick Welshman airmail himself home?
