Thanks for the information guys - I hadn't known using the manual throttle in the B3 was an issue; seemed simple enough among the pilots I know here in Europe, but the learnings from those reports make for good reading and show even the red CWP procedures which appear simple on paper can be dangerous in the stress of a real emergency.

Anyway, as I said I was simply curious about the accidents relating to confusion between which type was being flown as was mentioned earlier. The main intent of my earlier post was to clarify the question from GOMflyboy76 below, which led to confusion over which variant they referred to:

Per my initial reply, it's safe to assume he's talking about the B3.
