The massive props on the Vanguard had an important role in stopping. In a strong headwind Ground Idle alone was like running into the proverbial brick wall.
Normal landing technique was to flare before closing the throttles to preserve airflow over the elevators. However, if you were brave enough to close the throttles first (and were ready for the subsequent heave) the landing distance could be shortened considerably.
My question is how did you get round the flight fine pitch stop which was locked in position until the weight on wheels (squat) switch was made??
