I recall the words of my flying instructor on my first lesson thirty or so years ago as he completed his brief on exiting our steed in an emergency* :
"So Strake m'boy, let me summarise. If I tell you we have to get out in a hurry, please do so. If you don't, the coroner may well find an imprint of my size 9's on your neck"
Harsh but not forgotten
