One point raised in the thread with regard to a second vortice caught my attention having experienced it. In a light jet 10 miles in trail of a 74 configured for landing we hit his vortices and were spun violently onto one wingtip. Having recovered, and before there was time to even make a comment about what had just happened, we were spun just as violently in the opposite direction. Luckily no injuries and plane sustained no damage but very thought provoking. . . In 72 dutch roll training we were instructed to keep firmly away from the rudder.
