Ok folks thanks for the input but just to clear some things up....
Definitely not unintentional simply from the way the FO moves his hand.
Also the retraction was to a medium flap setting ie not to ZERO (i dont know the flap settings for the 747... movement of flap lever eg flap 35 to flap 15) and was done upon inital touchdown not the ground roll. I think 411A has got it here!
"Right Way Up" - This was not an automated movement but a physical movement of the lever by the FO's hand. The only thing I can see moving by itself was the spoiler lever upon touchdown, but this is normal.
With regards to "Bullethead's" comment about training flight.... good point but it was a night flight so i doubt it.
Anyone done this in practice as per your SOPs?
