Pilot Jamie Hull, from London, escaped death in 2007 when his plane crashed, leaving him with third degree burns on 60 per cent of his body and in a medically induced coma for six-months.
A former SAS trooper who was severely injured after jumping from a burning plane has said he hopes people will “take strength” from his story.
Jamie Hull, who lives in London, is releasing a book about his experiences after he was given a 5% chance of survival.
The 45-year-old told the PA news agency that the book is “ultimately about having the will to survive and that will to win and fight back to some semblance of normality”.
While serving in the armed forces, Mr Hull, then 32, was seriously injured after jumping from a plane which had caught fire during a training flight and was about to crash.
