I had a student (RAF Bulldog) who had previously done some private pilot training at a civvie flying school. He repeatedly used aileron to try to keep the wings level, even after feeling the stall buffet.
I eventually decided to show him (at a safe height) what could happen if he didn’t get out of this habit and if he ever did this in the finals turn. I got him to follow me through. As the aircraft hit the buffet a wing dropped and I tried to pick it up to wings level with a small amount of aileron, without removing the buffet. Nothing happened so I used slightly more aileron movement. The aircraft rolled rapidly inverted towards the down aileron and we lost a lot of altitude. Point made. He lost the habit. He went on to fly the Tornado.
