Yes, I vaguely remember the landing nose down could occasionally be a bit of a pitch up moment, especially with one of the hydraulics out. (It's been a while for me). But newbies very often let the nose slam on (more than other types I went on to) until they get used to it. Reminds me of the BOAC chief pilot who wondered how the hell two pods got wiped on the 707 ... on opposite sides!!!
