The stick shake occurred at 12.5 feet radio
It stopped at 32.8 feet radio.
But the key question is what was the time betwen the two heights? I speculate that it was looooonger than normal.

Also, I believe that the raising of the gear resulted in the air-ground logic switching to Air mode, which resulted in the LED's driving to the normal positions by 160ft radio.

It just may be that raising the gear was a superb decision that guaranteed the successful outcome, much as raising the flaps to 20 greatly assisted the outcome for BA38.
