Keep Your Arms And Legs Inside The Ride At All Times
The back door of a Warrior weighs 3/4 of a tonne.An hydraulic ram opens and closes it.
The driver has a button to open and close the door.
He can't see into the back.
Keep your fingers out of the way.
No really I mean it.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

I once had a finger caught in a car door which was bad enough. Really being a soldier is very hazardous even in peacetime. Take care.
Poor US. Is that all that's left of your hand? Lucky you managed to save the most useful finger then.
You miss the Warrior, don't you? I can tell.
PI - I don't think my desk is too dangerous these days.
Jamie - thanks. I still find it odd that there is a bloke in every Warrior Battalion who is known to everyone as 'Fingers'.
Katy - it was a bit of a love/hate relationship.
I will have yo drive one of these up and down outside the house when my web-site's published :0)
FJL - just let me know when and I'll see what the CO says!
*ouch!*
I think it's in about two to three months, and if you could spare the squad, please.
I know how to entertain soldiers ;-)
Warrior obviously designed by a man. It's clearly flawed!
No pointing out the back then?
It's a wonder the army isn't full of fingerless soldiers....Thought it was the enemy you were supposed to damage, not each other. Makes me think more kindly of donkeys as means of transport.
The computer keyboard is not half as hazardous, eh?
Where can I buy a Warrior, US? My neighbour keeps partially blocking my driveway. I can get out, but it's taking longer and longer every day so I thought perhaps I'd get something big and heavy and just drive straight over his car.
pink - I think the language is usually a little more colourful when it happens.
fjl - with a rendition of 'White Cliffs of Dover'?
laura - you're probably right.
gu - thankfully no.
greavsie - no pointing at all if you are not careful.
grannyp - donkeys - if George Brown has his way it might be an option.
gg - there's always the chance of a nasty case of RSI I suppose.
katy - try e-bay.
I was thinking of that the other day; we laugh, but it was a beauty in their day. These things have a poignancy now that the war-time special agents are dying.
I want them to always be remembered and I have written to the London press 'expressing my views'.
And if you were like Father Dougal; the attitude would be "what if I put my fingers here?!"
