Welsh fans pilot plane to watch rugby in World Cup

While many people flew to watch the World Cup, Dave Pitman and Gavin Johns took it one step further.

The two friends piloted a small private aeroplane that they say weighed less than Wales' scrum.

Dave, from Rumney in Cardiff, and Gavin, from Miskin in Rhondda Cynon Taf, flew across the channel in an aircraft weighing 880kg (1,900lb).

The two departed from St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan on Friday, before making the journey home on Sunday.
