A British tourist on a flight realises his opponent on his "Battleship" game was sitting directly in front of him.

Henry Robinson was mid-game when his girlfriend informed him that his opponent was sitting in front of them on their flight from Gatwick to Orlando on November 16.

Robinson, who lives in Finchley, London, then proceeded to glance over at his opponent's screen and enter the final coordinates seeing him win the game.

The filmer told Newsflare: "Girlfriend was to my right, tapped my shoulder and told me to look over my seat. It was the same guy playing the same game as me.

"It was a pretty even split, he may have been winning - then I ‘tactically’ looked at his ships over his shoulder. Decided to record the last move for memory sake!"
