<\/p>\nA man who posted himself home from Australia in a tiny wooden crate is now searching for the two men who nailed the box shut while helping him. <\/p>\n
Brian Robson, then 19, decided to hatch a plan to return back to Wales in 1965 without paying for a \u00a3700 plane ticket \u2013 which was 17 times his monthly salary at the time. <\/p>\n
The Victorian Railways worker convinced two Irishmen to stow him on a freight plane and now wants to find them again 60 years later, Mirror reports. <\/p>\n
Speaking to the Irish Times, Brian said he wanted help to reconnect with the men who helped him carry out his daring plan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019m 99% sure that they were called Paul and John. Paul really was 100% against it \u2026 but John said, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about it, I\u2019ll persuade him.\u2019<\/p>\n
"And so, they both went ahead and helped.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man recalled his "quite horrific experience", which allegedly took five days and derailed off course so bad that he ended up in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
Brian, now 76, claims he took laxatives three days before his journey to make sure he didn't get caught out.<\/p>\n
Inside the tiny box, Brian had only brought a "mini-fridge" sized box with a book of Beatles songs, suitcase and pillow.<\/p>\n

The two men booked Brian on to a Qantas flight from Melbourne to London but things went bad when the crate which held Brian was transferred to a PanAm flight. <\/p>\n
This led to Brian heading to L.A. instead of London and found himself locked in a freight shed for five days \u2013 too weak to hammer himself out. <\/p>\n
In a crazy luck bit of luck, an unsuspecting man \u201clooked through a hole in a wood knot in the chest and we caught each other eye to eye\u201d, Brian told the BBC. \u201cHe jumped back a mile and said, \u2018There\u2019s a body in there.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Brian had to spend five days recovering in hospital and was heavily questioned by the FBI.<\/p>\n
He was eventually allowed to fly on a passenger jet back to the UK without any legal action against him.<\/p>\n
