The idea of a pull on the controls on the Victor, was Not to raise the nose but to brake hard and Tend to raise it. In this way more braking torque was achieved against an aerodynamic input. Only used if the braking chute didn’t stream on a short RW.
Same technique was mentioned for hydraulic failure landings (with limited or no flap etc.) in an airline I know. The point is that the control deflection should be countered by braking. Nose stays down.
Knocks hell out of the brakes of course and was not meant for daily use.
