The plane crashed and exploded in a paddock, with the pilots pulling himself from the wreckage before crawling for help.
A pilot suffering spinal injuries and burns all over his body crawled 2km to call for help after his light plane crashed in central Queensland.
Trevor Mills, 65, was at the controls of his kit Van’s RV-8 aircraft when it suffered a catastrophic engine failure soon after takeoff in November last year.
The plane crashed into a nearby paddock, about 41km west of Gladstone.
It skidded along the grass until it slammed into a fallen tree and exploded.
The aircraft was destroyed in the impact and the intense fuel-fed inferno that erupted.
Miraculously, Mills survived the crash but suffered severe, life-threatening spinal injuries and burns.
Pulling himself free of the wreckage, Mills crawled on his hands and knees to a home on the property where he called for help.
