Piltdown Man

Good point

I seem to remember an incident report that’s pertinent to your post, FO has a sim check coming up so flys the approach into LGW with auto-thrust off in marginal conditions and bumps the tail.

O dear I was suggesting hand flying is a good thing, perhaps I just shot myself in the foot

On second thoughts no, if he had been in practice it probably would not have happened.
