The man who nearly died posting himself home in a wooden box

In 1965, 20 year old Brian Robson left Wales for a new life in Australia. But he soon realised he'd made a mistake and was overcome with homesickness. He devised an insane plan to get home at no cost - hiding inside an air-freighted crate. But Brian's plan went drastically wrong - he tells his story to Outlook's Matthew Bannister.
