Back in '72 at Glasgow, I remember a couple of Caravelles arriving (Air Inter?) and dragging their brake chutes all the way to the apron. Then there was the Tu124 which touched down well over halfway down the runway with its wheels locked (tyres smoking) AND deployed its brake chute; he also dragged it to the apron.
