I could see them (well, the right-hand-one, I assume they came out together!) in the 360 film. He talks about putting them in after her complaints and you can see it go in again. I reckon she must have been suffering the somatogravic illusion of pitching down under deceleration; going idle/airbrake in a Tornado at 550kts is pretty harsh in my recollection!
