"Out of interest in the air force with nose v high, speed low and rapidly reducing we were always taught to go to idle and centralise everything, wait for the aircraft to fall out and once speed was on the way back up effect a recovery using nose low techniques. Not as a technique in the QRH or the FCTM though"
That depends on the particular aircraft. I know of some that would NOT recover using that technique. Also you need lots of altitude if you just let it fall. Not a good technique after or during a go-around.
