Escapes: Anna Freeman talks to Brian Robson
Writer Anna Freeman hears what led Brian Robson to airmail himself home, from where he was working in Australia, in a crate.
In this episode of One to One, the writer Anna Freeman speaks to Brian Robson. In 1962, Brian was so desperate to return home to the UK from Australia, that he hatched a plan to mail himself home in a crate.
He became the first person in history to fly for nearly five days in a crate across the Pacific Ocean; an incredibly dangerous feat. Anna hears how behind this daring tale was a young man willing to risk his life, just to make it home.
