Re the PWK B707 commentary;
One of our trainers decided to fail the upwind outboard on one of ours at Avalon with a 30kt x/wind during a license renewal sequence in the '70's. The checkee [a man of some considerable experience] grabbed the thrust lever and pushed it back up with the immortal words "Don't be so bl**dy stupid!"
G'day
BTW he passed the check!
