Where there's life, there's hope.
I clamber on to the seat and I’m over the lip of door, hands and knees, on to the left wing and into a tornado of fire, the worst pain I have ever experienced. Ever will. The backwash from the propeller has turned the fire into a giant blowtorch. I stand up at a slight angle, knces bent, and the right side of my body is melt- ing through the muscle down to the bone. My T-shirt and shorts are incincrating, my hair is on fire, the right side of my body is blistering and bubbling like a chop under a grill on max.
Life on a Thread Audio Book
SAS trooper and trainee pilot Jamie Hull was flying solo when his aircraft caught fire. It should have been the end of his life, but it was the beginning of his story.
With flames up to his chin, he brought the plane in, climbed out and jumped from the wing. As he lay on the ground, fully conscious, waiting for the emergency services, he could smell his flesh burn.
Even if he survived, what would he have left to live for?
But this man is made of stern stuff. He fought back from the brink of death, and created a new and profoundly meaningful life from the wreckage of his experience.
Meet Jamie Hull, former Special Services soldier, now Ambassador for Help for Heroes and veteran of two marathons, a 3,000-mile bicycle race across America and an expedition up Mount Kilimanjaro. His story will take to you to the furthest extremes of human endurance and endeavour.
