Is it possible that the very experienced TRE was showing the very inexperienced F/O how to do a circling type approach to this airfield ?
Then - I don't know - maybe he either positioned it much too tight, and/or kept his eyes outside the cockpit too much and didn't keep an eye on the power setting or the airspeed ? If so, the F/O probably would have been looking out too, to learn the 'picture', so neither pair of eyes was inside on the instruments.
