Wobble2plank and gas path...you 2 must be closer to the source than what I am.
as I mentioned on the Avcom website, I was on technical refresher today...course presenters are ex SAA B742/3 flight engineers, and being a BA franchise airline, we do get a lot of info handed down within the company....although "second-hand".
When our technical staff and our FSO relayed the sequence of events including the loss of thrust on initally 2 then restored to only one eng out, I believed their version of the story....
seems I may be wrong on those accusations, but it does still sound like the "reverser-unlock" and subsequent retraction of LE's close to or during rotate and the stick shaker activation still makes it a very scary event, and total "hats off/respect" to the crew for getting it safely out of that situation and to an uneventfull return to land.
