I very clearly remember when I flew with UBAS at Shawbury in the 60s, the checklist called for brakes off for landing, unless there was a strong crosswind, in which case three notches were set. However, since our boss wanted to preserve his aircraft, we students had a very low crosswind limit - 5 kts I think - so we never had occasion to use the brakes on landing.
A330 Dreamer, I agree with all the advice here - a wonderful aircraft. The only thing better than the RAF T10 in my opinion was the RCAF version, which I flew a few times in the 70s - a bubble canopy and a heater!
