G-THOF, a 737-300 on approach to Bournemouth.
AAIB report 3-2009.
Autothrottle disengaged but pilots didn't immediately notice - event masked by speeds being as expected in an approach with engines at idle. Speeds dropped below target on application of more flap. Captain initiated a go around but power/pitch couple gave a nose up pitch that exceeded elevator authority in a machine trimmed AND. Power/pitch couple is, AIUI, present in all aircraft - see DC10 at Sioux City. Difference with MAX8 is that nacelle aerodynamics can add nose up pitch over/above that associated with addition of thrust.
