Boarding a Wessex

The trip up the side of a Wessex should not be taken lightly. If you are wearing a goon-suit then be careful when reaching over to open the transmission platform. A well tailored suit would need you to undo the rear zipper to provide some slack. Not taking this precaution would see you reach over to the support hand-grip and stretch the suit to its limits thus dragging the one foot supporting your weight off the step and leaving you fighting for survival supported by only one hand, followed shortly thereafter by a curse and a yell as you ended up comically piled up in an untidy heap beside your trusty steed.

It was bad form to do this in front of your 'looker' whose confidence in his erstwhile leader could take a nasty knock.
