I remember that tall lever to the right of the controls just ahead of the aileron trimmer. It operating the airbrakes; you armed it prior to landing by pulling it vertically into a detent, then as soon as there was pressure on the mainwheel oleos, it flew back towards you in its quadrant to open the 'brakes. You made sure you didn't have your hand in the way just before touchdown, as it moved very fast.
