Overview

• In 1996, Hogan’s Spanish Learjet overshot the runway at RAF Northolt, struck a van on the A40 and split in two, yet she walked away uninjured while the van driver suffered only cuts and bruises.
• The Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives cited the pilot’s failure to deploy spoilers after touchdown as the primary factor in the runway excursion.
• In his July 20 Sunday Times column, Clarkson recalled that between them they have survived three aviation incidents, with his own involving only broken landing gear.
• Hogan’s Instagram post included graphic photos of the bisected wreckage and confirmed that she took another flight later the same day, landing safely.
• No new investigations have been opened and the revisited crash remains a retrospective human-interest story rather than an active safety probe.
