BOAC, "The system has trimmed my tail to the point where I may not be able to fly out of it."

The system includes the pilot. And it was direct pilot input that caused that trim setting to exist. I also note it MAY be time for a remedial read on the BEA release again. The trim stayed sane until after the PF input full NU (and full left.)

The trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) passed from 3 to 13 degrees nose-up in about 1 minute and remained in the latter position until the end of the flight.
