Lisa Hogan has shared a dramatic photo from the 1996 plane crash that she miraculously survived, revealing new details about the near-fatal incident.
The Irish model and entrepreneur, now 51, was just 25 when the private jet she was flying in collided with a van after veering off the runway at RAF Northolt in west London.
The Spanish Learjet 25, which was arriving from Spain for a film shoot, split in two on impact.
However all passengers, including Hogan, walked away without serious injury.
In a post shared to Instagram on Tuesday, Hogan wrote: “Amazingly the pilots, van drivers and I survived. I took another flight the same day. And landed safely.”
Speaking to the Irish Independent months after the 1996 incident, Hogan revealed that just before take-off the pilot had asked her to move seats but she refused.
“I insisted on sitting where I was, which was just as well because that was the area where the van came through when we crashed and I would have been killed instantly.,” she said.
Her throwback post follows comments made by Clarkson, 64, who recently told The Sunday Times that he and Hogan had “survived three crashes over the years.”
The pair, who run Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm together, first got together in 2017 after being introduced by friends at a Christmas party.
He said: “Whenever Lisa and I board an aeroplane, we are usually pretty confident that it will land safely because between us, we’ve walked away from three crashes over the years.
“Both mine involved broken landing gear and were fairly minor, but hers was a proper shunt. She was the only passenger in a Learjet that careered off the end of the runway at Northolt and on to the A40, where it was hit so hard by a van that it split in two.
“It’s amazing no one was killed, and if you Google the images, you’ll see what I mean.”
In May, it was revealed Hogan will publish her first book, taking readers through a year in the life of “the nation’s favourite farm”.
Her debut book, Animals And Other Eejits, will document her attempts to disrupt the mushroom market while navigating red tape and tractor mishaps.
