Yes Puma front end crews still get to the cockpit through the cabin and between the broom cupboards.
I thought that they had got over that. IIRC is was when a Puma was being guarded by a gunner at Woolwich who got bored and fiiddled with the pilot's door jettison lever. He put it back but the indicator wire went back to its original position. When the young Michael was flying it back the door jettisoned itself. That was in 1972. After that the doors were locked and we had to crawl in the back.
I cannot think of any other Puma/Super Puma/EC225 crews that do that worldwide.
